The "unresolved symbols" messages are harmless (unless you want to use
nfs or the de4x5, in which case you end up rebuilding the kernel).
20 minutes, huh? You did create and activate your swap partition,
didn't you?
You can consider your installation successful.

I can't help you there. While I use (and maintain) tob and afio, I never use
muti-volume backups as I do them off-line anyway. I just define my backup
"volumes" such that they will fit on one 170 MB tape. That holds /etc, /home
and /usr/local, which is all I need.

Dos and windows works fine, but Linux just hangs after
it does partition check. I boot with lilo, using both
kernels 2.0.17 & 18. The basic Debian boot disks crash
when mounting the ramdisk, dumping register values and

Doing that could lead to dpkg/packagin
Thanks to all those who responded.
Turns out that I needed to run `lilo'. I'd feel stupid if I didn't
think that the installation process should have done this for me when
it copied the kernel from the boot disks. It seems like there are two
possibilities as two why this didn't happen:

Hello,
I'm new to Unix and just installing Debian Linux base

ttyN is not the same as ttySN (N=0,1,etc)

[Why do I have gettys running on tty1 through tty6? I only have 2 serial ports]
These are virtual consoles using your VGA card. Push LeftAlt-F2 on your console
(I think it's Control-LeftAlt-F2 or Shift-LeftAlt-F2 if you are running X) and
you will be on tty2. And so on for Alt-F3, through Alt-F6.

You are running kerneld. You go to open a character device with major
number 10. There is no driver for the device and kerneld tries to load
it. Do this command:
ls /dev |grep "10,"

don't forget "amaya", w3c's replacement for arena. (Then again, if I
want *information* I use lynx or emacs w3. emacs w3 is often more
convenient in conjunction with gnus and All Things Emacs; lynx is a
