Re: Unidentified subject!

Try reading the installation instructions from http://www.debian.org. It tells you what files you need there to perform an install of the Debian 2.2r3 base from your hard drive. Basically you need loadlin.exe to install from DOS (though you can boot off a rescue disk image), as well as a rescue dis

"Value too large for defined data type"?

I keep getting this message while trying to access a (presumably) very large file. It's a tarball restored from tape. I can't do anything more than "ls". Even "ls -l" bombs with the message "Value too large for defined data type". What can I do about this? I'm not actively monitoring the
