Hope you're having nice holidays! In order to test Linux, I got the special issue of the German periodical "CHIP- Linux für.... (1. Linux Ausgabe 1999)" It came with two disks, providing the Debian GNU/ Linux 2.0.
The System wich I wanted to install Linux on: Tandon PAC II 486/33 SCSI on Board (Type unknown) It has no HDD, but a removable Data-Pack thats bootable (1GB). When I ran FIPS 15 to create partitions before the Linux installation I recieved a message "Your HDD may not be h13 compatible"?!? Don't know what that means. I continued, it worked! I had the partitions I wanted. Now I wanted to install Linux! When booting Linux from a 3,5" FD the following line appeared: "Failed initialization WD(Western Digital) 7000 SCSI-card" It was that Linux didn't recognize any HDD in my system, when I tried to make the root,swap etc. partitions. I'm not even a biginner with Linux, I failed to manage the first installation! If anyone could help a greenhorn like me to get Linux on my System,I hope this person gets at least a 100 years old without needing dental implants. I apologize for my bad english. Mario Klann
