Hello to all. I have installed the base of Debian 2.1 and it works.
Hmm, I have done this on the same machine several times, because I have installed some programs and crashed the full system !!! Now my question: How can I back-up the Installation ??? I have a SCSI controller AIC 6x60 with a ZIP-Drive. My harddisk is a IBM DTTA 351680 (Ultra-ATA) Previously I will install not more then the 'Base', XFree86, StarOffice, a very good E-Mail client and the development source for 'The Linux Router Project' I think, If I use the LRP-Floppy as Back-Up helper it is enough. For the Back-Up program I have around 250 KByte. The back-up DATA can be stored on the ZIP-Drive. Possible I will upgrade to the new 250 MB ZIP-Drive. Or I use a LS-120. So I can store the LRP, BAck-Up program and the Back-Up Data on one Disk, which is bootable. I am thinking on one or more (smaller and better to handle) TGZ files for the Structur. Please can anyone help me ??? I have a very good experience with ZIPed OS because I develop under WfW 3.11 (Winblow9x od NT not required) and I have crashed my workstation 100 or more times. Sometimes I have restored my Development Workstation 2 or 3 times a day. Many thans for your help in advance Webmistress Michelle
