Re[4]: Installation 1.3 failed (SOLVED: tape & ultra scsi)

My install problem resided in an "ultra" [ie, fast-20, 20 MHz, not wide-scsi] speed scsi drive. Ultra-scsi worked, tape drives worked, but an ultra-scsi disk drive and a scsi tape drive would not work on the same daisy chain. On bootup, I entered my Adaptec 2940UW setup to disable ultra-scsi spe

dselect corrupted filesystem

I have run debian's "bo" since December, 1996. I nightly mirror the debian packages. Usually, I use dpkg to update a package, though I have used dselect 20 times. Last night I used dselect to update packages that I have not updated with dpkg. During the in
