Hello... thought it might be instructive to pass along the things that
happened to me when trying to install Linux on my Pentium-133.
Some background: I have never installed any brand of Linux before, but
I've dabbled in Unix and am somewhat familiar with Linux (some friends have
it installed --

shows you how to use `apt' to avoid the `dselect' quagmire.

I'm a non-unix person installing Debian on a PC (there
will only be one user) for the first time, and have a
collection of installation related questions. Perhaps
someone here can help. I've already run through the
entire installation process once, but during the
process I had to make arbitrary

I don't know whether or not this is the right place for this, but I had
some problems installing hamm on my system. As I do not yet want to drop
my bo system, I decided to try it out on a looped filesystem. I have
recompiled a 2.0.32 kernel with looproot support (patch from linuxhq.com).

Hi Debian folks,
Upon seeing that a set of installation files appeared under hamm I
got curious.
Using the single file version of the base disks and the 14400 versions
of the other disks I started an install from DOS.
Some observations:
1. I was unable to get the installation program to see an

i've tried the hamm installation disks dated 1998-02-21 and cannot

No, I never used --force-blah. The trouble was that I had xdm going,
and my video card cannot start X more than once (unless there is a reboot
in between) - my card is a Diamond Stealth 3000 3D. Also, I had followed
the upgrade mini-HOWTO, but had not upgraded libgdbm and perl (since

Yes, I understand very well NOW that there are no hamm disks yet.
My point was that this upgrade of Debian is really expecting a lot
of "typical Debian users." At first glance, I thought that
disks under dists/unstable/main/disks-i386 would actually belong
to the unstable distribution. It is such

Is it already possible to install a new system directly with hamm? I need
to do an install tonight, and want it to be hamm.
There aren't an hamm boot disks yet. You have to install bo, then
upgrade.

Hi,
Is it already possible to install a new system directly with hamm? I need
to do an install tonight, and want it to be hamm.
I noticed that the hamm/main/disks-i386/current directory points to
bo/disks-i386/current. Does this mean that I can install a clean libc6
system using those install

What is the proper way to install Hamm? I want to install it on a
clean disk. I use the CDROM to install the base 1.3. Then when
it reboots, I use FTP in dselect to try to install hamm. It did
not work.
Appreciate any comments/suggestions.
Thanks.
Bao
