Seems I did it again. I have fixed my notes, so the returned mail
shouldn't happen again!

Debian Masters,
I am not sure how to phrase this as I am not a subscribed
user; but I have a problem
and I have gotten excellent assistance to this point. So I thought I
should keep trying.
Please CC any replies as I am not on your access list. I need to get a
*real* system first.
If you can help me get Linux up then I think I will be ready to move
up.
To the problem!
I have a 95 Mhz Pentium with a lot of nice components attached. If
the work with this
out of date dog; I'll replace the m'board with something 21st century.
There is an Adaptec 2940 / 2940W SCSI adapter card.
A Quantum (Fireball /280S) 60108C2 1 GB hard drive
A Conner CFP1060S 1 GB hard drive
And a Toshiba XM3501TA CD drive
It also has a network interface card for later more advanced
potential.
When the system was started with the CD inserted I got to the install
wizard - if that's the
proper terminology. As I followed the manual and explored some, on my
own, I kept coming
back to the same message, which was "no hard drive(s) found". That is
my recollection of
the message anyway.
Does this ring a bell with any one? The version of Debian I am
trying to load is 2.1.
I also tried to install using a boot floppy; but, again I got a similar
message pointing to the
scsi drives not being recognized. This offered an appearant DOS
modification - at least
that was how I read it - but I didn't quite understand the steps I
should take. I have never
been scsi literate. I do understand some of the termination issues.
But editting the cmos
via the Adaptec editor is a new and disconcerting area for me.
Remember to CC me as I have not joined your list yet. The system I
am using to
communicate with you is a 486 with a 28.8 modem. I don't think I could
handle the
hundreds of e-mails you get daily. Thank you for
now, Ed
