Hello all, I am in need of some Newbie help. If this is the wrong list, can someone please tell me the correct list on which to post these questions. (BTW - I've read the installation manual on this a couple of times and now I am even more confused than before I read it.)
I am currently trying to install Debian as my fourth Linux distribution. I have used Mandrake, Redhat and SuSE in the past and I wanted a more challengeing installation so that I might learn more about Linux. Well, I am getting a challenge. Here are my system specs. PROC: Pentium 120 RAM: 64 MB Primary IDE Master: 4.1 GB Primary IDE Slave: 1.2 GB Secondary IDE Slave: 4.1 GB Since I have no CD ROM I have downloaded the Debian disk images and made the floppies. I have booted the system, configured the keyboard, (whoopee!) and I am currently at the point of partitioning the hard drives. Now, I kinda don't know what I should do for this, as there is no option (that I can see) to says 'hey Debian, you tell me what you think I should do with these three drives and that is what we will go with'. In the past, RedHat, Mandrake and SuSE all made these decisions for me. So I am sitting here looking at the screen (cfdisk 2.11n) and it is asking me to select a drive to partition with the list of /dev/hda /dev/hdc and /dev/hdd. How should I allocate this space? I deleted one of the drives and selected 'NEW'. Then it asks me [Primary] [Logical] [Cancel] , so I selected 'Primary'. Gave it the full size and now I have no idea what to do. I am not really sure what I just did. Thanks in advance, Thinker -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
