Hi all. Setting up a proxy server for a small company who had Red Hat installed and had locked themselves out.
Being a Debian fan, I set about redoing the whole thing using slink. Install freezes at the point where the partitions are being assigned on the hard disk. I never get beyond the installer doing mkswap /dev/sda2 as it locks at that point. Repartitioning the disk causes a freeze at the point where the fdisk is writing the new partition table. I tried using Tom's Repair Disk to partition the disk. No problems at all. In fact, SuSE 5.2 which s over 2 years old installed flawlessly. Is this a known problem? Id there a special rescue disk for scsi installations? Debian is MUCH easier to support than SuSE for me so if there's a way to install slink before returning the box tomorrow I'd be grateful. Thanks in advance, Patrick Kirk
