Hello, I'm getting a new harddisk for my laptop soon, and I'd like to try installing Debian on reiserfs on it. I was thinking of doing it like this:
- install debian on 'spare' partition (by CD's) - compile kernel 2.2.17 - get pcmcia/airo drivers from floppy and install - download 2.4.2 kernel source, compile it - boot 2.4.2 kernel - download and compile reiserfs helper applications - make a reiserfs partition - make a copy of the 'spare' partition on the reiserfs disk - change /etc/fstab on the reiserfs disk - boot 2.4.2 kernel from the reiserfs disk - edit sources.list to include testing - apt-get update and dist-upgrade - apt-get x,wdm and stuff - get XF86Config-4 from disk - hope everything now works well :) Does this make sense? Also, the disk is 20G. I reserve 3G for windows, a bit for swap, leaving some 17G for linux. What is the best way to partition it? 7 gig for Linux and 2x5 gig for games and big stuff to mount on /mnt or so? -- Arnout Engelen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Gelezen in de Debian Packaging Manual: It is assumed that the reader is reasonable familiar with the dpkg System Administrators' manual. Unfortunately this manual does not yet exist.
