Perhaps there's an issue with preparing Debian for the very first time. You only need to run this one time and then never ever again apt-get update apt-get install fakeroot build-essential crash kexec-tools makedumpfile kernel-package kernel-wedge apt-get build-dep linux apt-get install libncurses5 libncurses5-dev libelf-dev asciidoc binutils-dev Take care of the emails wrapping. -- Does anybody know where to get Quick Calculus by Daniel Kleppner and Norman Ramsey translated to German? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
