I forgot to mention that the Tyan bears also a scsi card for an external HD,

scsi card has to be configured into the chroot as described below. Correct?
I have no idea about this hardware question, I believe you should google a
bit for the answer. However, I suppose it's a kernel thing, and so it
should not require chroots or similar.
Hi Roberto:
Thanks again. I regret now asking what has already been answered on this list
but I can't trace where.
Finally I got all parts, so that I assembled the workstation with two amd64
opterons on TyanK8WE S2895 and a couple of HD (for raid1).
Basically it is an OS installation for chemical calculations, and therefore
pure amd64 debian to gain in floating point. However, it may also be a
resource should my PC (i386 debian testing/unstable) stop running. Therefore,
I also plan to have a chroot installation of 32bit programs. I do not
remember if KDE is 64bit or has to be out into this chroot.
You can have KDE in a pure 64 bit environment.
That said, should I point directly to
http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/
or
http://www.debian.org/debian-installer/
and, once installed Sarge, do upgrading to testing?
If you patient enough, which files should I download to build an iso and than
make a bootable installer CD? I have a fst connection to internet to complete
a net installation. These problems arise with people, like me, that come to
installations seldom, forgetting steps that more or less they were already
passed through.
Thanks a lot
Francesco Pietra
That's the iso you need to install thing via internet.
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/etch_di_beta2/amd64/iso-cd/debian-testing-amd64-netinst.iso
If you select expert mode, you should have the possibility to choose
between sid and etch I think.
Good luck,
Roberto
