Running translated install system from harddisk?
Is it just me, or is it impossible to activate the translation when running an install directly from the harddisk? (i386, boot-floppies current of ten minutes ago) Considering that I did translate the stuff to Swedish, it would be nice to have the install actually run in Swedish... :) Please Cc replies, I no longer subscribe to this list due to the volume -- \\// Peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ I do not read or respond to mail with HTML attachments.

And are you using the install.bat file? loadlin doesn't work under some circumstances.

Re: Cross-install howto
OK, here's the result (I still have to do the markup). This section explains how to install Debian GNU/Linux from an existing Unix or Linux system. This has been requested by users switching to the best Linux system from Redhat, Mandrake, or SUSE. Once you've got the new Debian system configured to your preference, you can migrate your existing user data (if any) to it, and keep on rolling. This is therefore a zero downtime GNU/Linux install. It's also a clever way for dealing with hardware that otherwise doesn't play friendly with various boot or installation media. Getting Started With your current *nix partitioning tools, repartition the hard drive as needed, creating at least one filesystem plus swap. You need at least 150MB of space available for a console only install, or at least 300MB if you plan to install X. To create filesystems on your partitions (this example creates and ext3 partition, for ext2 omit -j): $ mke2fs -j /dev/partition # e.g.: /dev/hda3 Initialize and activate swap: $ mkswap /dev/partition # e.g.: /dev/hda2 $ sync; sync; sync $ swapon /dev/partition # e.g.: /dev/hda2 Mount one partition as /mnt/debinst (the installation point, to be the root (/) filesystem on your new system). The mount point name is strictly arbitrary, it is referenced later below. $ mkdir /mnt/debinst $ mount /dev/partition /mnt/debinst # e.g.: /dev/hda3 Installing debootstrap The tool which the Debian installer uses, and which is recognized as the official way to install a Debian base system, is debootstrap. It uses wget, but otherwise depends only on glibc. Install wget if it isn't already on your current system, then download and install debootstrap. If you have an rpm-based system, you can use alien to convert the .deb into .rpm, or download an rpmized version at http://people.debian.org/~blade/install/debootstrap Or, you can use the following procedure to install it manually. Make a work folder for extracting the deb into: $ mkdir work $ cd work The debootstrap binary is located in the Debian archive (be sure to select the proper file for your architecture). Download the debootstrap .deb to the work folder, and extract the binary files from it. For example, $ ar -xf debootstrap_0.X.X_arch.deb You will need to have root privileges to do this: $ cd / $ zcat /full-path-to-work/work/data.tar.gz | tar xv Running debootstrap (Network-connected) Debootstrap can download the needed files directly from the archive when you run it. Substitute any Debian archive mirror for http.us.debian.org in the command example below, preferably a mirror close to you network-wise. Mirrors are listed at http://www.debian.org/misc/README-mirrors If you have a woody version Debian CD mounted at /cdrom, you could substitute a file URL instead of the http URL: file:/cdrom/debian/ Substitute one of the following for ARCH in the debootstrap command: alpha, arm, hppa, i386, ia64, m68k, mips, mipsel, powerpc, s390, sparc $ /usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch ARCH woody \ /mnt/debinst http://http.us.debian.org/debian Running debootstrap (Using basedebs.tar) Debootstrap can use the basedebs.tar file, if you'd like to download it ahead of time. The basedebs.tar file is generated only every once in a while, so you'll get the latest version of the base system by pointing debootstrap directly to a Debian archive as shown above. Basedebs.tar provides an option for non-network connected computers. The basedebs.tar file is found in the base-images-current directory of the Debian archive for your architecture, e.g.: http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/base-images-current/basedebs.tar $ /usr/sbin/debootstrap --arch ARCH --unpack-tarball \ /path-to-downloaded/basedebs.tar woody /mnt/debinst Configuring The Base System You've now got a real Debian system, though rather lean, on disk. Chroot into it: $ chroot . /bin/bash You can mount the proc filesystem multiple times and to arbitrary locations, though /proc is customary. It will make certain other tasks easier, so do this now: $ mount -t proc proc /proc OK. You've got a few things to configure that would ordinarily be handled by the Debian installer: * keyboard * language * time zone * partition mounting * networking * apt sources You need to create /etc/fstab. While you don't need to mount additional filesystems, this is a good time to do so. You'll probably want to activate swap and the proc filesystem. A sample /etc/fstab -- modify to suit: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # file system mount point typeoptionsdump pass /dev/XXX/ ext2defaults
