Hello all: Seeking some guidance on how to get a sarge install up on a x86 desktop. There aren't any hardware issues, lenny installs fine from CD+net.
I tried booting from "debian-sarge-3.1-mini.iso (downloaded from sarge archive). I manually adusted the mirrors to point to archive.debian.org/debian-archive.debian. and installer found the "Releases" file. When it hit the installer page of "which...? stable, unstable..." it couldn't find the files (presumably because directory structure changed when it was archived). I couldn't find a way to manually tell it files to install. I did a full of install of lenny (which is now up). Anyone have any suggestions on how to: downgrade the running lenny -or- how to install sarge directly? any pointers appreciated. I'm an experienced linux user, but new to Debian. I'm coming from rpm world of Fedora/RedHat/Centos so I'm new to apt,synaptic et all also. BTW I certainly like everything I see so far about "debian". The developers certainly appear to "get it" thanks in advance tom campbell www.DinkumSoftware.com -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
