Hi; (My System:QDI 430TX motherboard,CyriX 200MMX CPU and 96MG Edo Ram) I am new to Linux & Debian, Also I am not a programmer. I have tried to install Debian 2.0 (Intel)from CD. I have Win98 on my 4.3GB hard drive so I cleared 2.4G and managed to create a 200Mg root partition dev/hda3, a 96MG ((is this much necessary? )swap partition dev/hda7 an a 2.1+GB linux partition dev/hda8 and have reached the "Configure Device Drivers" step; but I am unsure what settings to use. Here is a list of the additional hardware I have:
HP 7100i CD Writer ( uses Direct CD for writing data and Easy Cd for writing audio ) Philips DRD 5200 DVD ROM Matrox Millennium II ( 4MG ) Real Magic Hollywood 2 Mpeg2 Card US Robotic Sportster 56.6K Fax\Voice Modem Flyvideo II ( TV Tuner Card ) Standard serial mouse Can you please let me know what I must do to get them to run in Linux?. Also at one attempted to install I left "Configure Device Drivers" blank, then when I reached the "list of access methods" in Dselect, when I chose cdrom it requested the "Block" I do not know what this is. I read the "Dselect documentation for beginners" but it has no mention of this. It does talk about mounting your CD could you explain what mounting is and how I can mount the CD drives mentioned above. Finally can you recommend the best learning materials for learning how to use and get the most out of Linux ( remembering I am a beginner ) Thanks Chris _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
