Due to a problem we're having here, I reviewed with interest the prior
thread ("Debian on an old PC") discussing the installation of Debian
on an "older" machine ...
Based on the info shared there, our machine (K6/450MHz, 128MB) seems
adequate to at least *install* 'sarge'. Unfortunately the
installation "hangs" after the last line below:
... ... ...
... ... ...
Unpacking replacement locales ...
... ... ...
Preparing to replace libc6-2.3.2ds1-18 (using ....)
Unpacking replacement libc6 ... <======================== HANG
At this point control-C has no effect; also, trying to switch to
another console (e.g., control-alt-F2) does nothing.
Can anyone suggest a way to continue the installation?
Thanks,
