I am trying to install debian (testing) on a machine that has Windows XP. I downloaded and booted the first .iso image (weekly build as of Feb 28). Partitoning and other steps seem to have worked properly.
When I started the "install the base system", things seemed ok until just after I was prompted for a kernel choice (I took the default). I then got a message that errors occurred while trying to install initramfs-tools. I downloaded initramfs-tools-0.85e_all.deb using the windows part of the machine (I have a working wireless setup there), transferred it to the debian part (using mount), and typed dpkg --install (initramfs...).deb The response leads me to hope that this worked: > unpacking... > setting up... > update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-3-486 I'm not sure what to do next. I would like to continue with the rest of the installation process (especially the automatic graphics install). I'm concerned that if I simply boot from the CD, it will take me back to the beginning of the process, possibly undoing the now-working (I hope) intramfs. Is there a more sophisticated way to use the CD than booting it? Thanks to everyone for the suggestions that have gotten me this far. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
