Not sure I should post here - apologies if this is not the right place for this.
I have an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 430CDT with 32M RAM and about 4Gb of disk space. PCMCIA card (xircom ethernet and 33.6 modem combined) for network access on to my local area network (and then onward to the internet). I have to use sbm via a floppy because it won't boot CDs. Having tried to use the sarge netinstalls of 2nd July and 7th August (nightly snapshots) both of these had problems. 7th Aug, got into a loop where it said I was in low memory mode repeatedly, so I went back to 2nd July - which failed during base installation saying it was missing a library. So I have downloaded yesterdays build (2nd September) and started again. I now have a new place where I can't move forward because of an error. Essentially the "partitition" disks step says that no partitionable media is found - and I don't know how to move forward from here. /dev/discs/disc0/disc exist (as does part1 part2 and part3 from a previous attempt to partion as (/boot ext2 32M, swap 500M, / reiserfs 3.7G) I have tried initially to do this with linux2.6 at the boot prompt, but having followed a recent thread on here which says parted isn't doing the right thing, I tried again with the default boot but still no luck. Is it possible to get round this manually? can I continue the installation in any way? -- Alan Chandler [EMAIL PROTECTED] First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win. --Gandhi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
