Hello, I was installing the new 1.3 version onto a 486 based PC when the install stopped progressing. After formatting a second new floppy, using rawrite2 again to create a second new rescue disk, then rebooting, the exact same thing happened. I got as far as seeing a number of screens of information fly by, then the install stopped. The installation information said this may happen for periods of time, but I figured that 2 hours was long enough. The last line on the screen each time was: Code: 80 38 00 74 07 40 4a 83 fa ff 75 f4 29 c8 c6 f7 c5 10 00
I don't know if this screen information is useful, but I wasn't sure what might be relevant. Additional background info: * I got the Debian 1.3 download from BO yesterday. * I formatted all of the floppies before using rawrite2, tossing out any that had bad sectors. * I am a newbie to Linux/Unix. * The 486 presently has Win95 installed. I plan on only using Linux on this and don't care if Win95 is destroyed. * I turned off Shadow Ram in the BIOS. * The PC has 16 MB of DRAM (with the extra RAM as extended, not expanded, per the install info). * I just finished spending a few hours reading everything I could find in related newsgroups and on the Debian website about install related problems. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. - Randy -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
