Hi,
I am a long time ms-dos/windows user taking my
first look at linux. I hope to eventually get apache,
php and mysql running on my home machine so I can work
on creating a mysql application while I wait for my
university to configure mysql for student use.
I have been planning for some time to configure a
linux machine "on the side," but I recently had a
windows crash and decided to try linux now rather than
reconfigure windows yet another time. I hope this is
the right place to post a question like the one that
follows. I just subscribed to this list, and have
limited time while at work to read through back
messages. If I'm in the wrong place, please let me
know.....
I am trying to setup debian from floppies on a
hard-drive with nothing else present. It's a 1.2gig
drive. I set up a 10meg partition for /boot, a 100meg
swap partition, and all the rest on the third. The
machine is a pentium II 233 with 640meg ram.
When the install process is reading data from
the third driver diskette (created from driver-3.bin),
I get the following error message box:
Error
Error writing to the output file: Success
After selecting "Continue" the next message is:
File Error
There was a problem installing the Drivers from
/target/drivers.tgz
I have tried several different physical
diskettes and I get the same message each time. The
first message is truly perplexing since I am obviously
nowhere near success.
If someone here can help me, I would be
grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks!
John Shepherd
