I am trying to install Debian 1.3.1 from CheapBytes disk on a new computer (and a newbie at Linux) which has a Matshita (Panasonic) CR-585 24x CDRom. At the point in the install where it tries to access the CDRom, it halts with the error message: mount: /dev/cdrom is not a valid block device. The CDrom was not mounted successfully. I built the rescue and drivers disks, and installed as many relevant drivers as I could to postpone going to the CD for as long as possible. My first attempt, to use the harddisk as suggested in Dale Sheetz's book also did not work. At the point where you select the partition where Debian Archive resides, it presented me with only one option in the list: /dev/hda1, which is my Win95 partition, and halted a little further on.
Any help would be much appreciated. Albert Hurd ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
