non IA32 d-i
Hi, Andreas suggested me I could help in getting d-i to work on non-IA32 architectures. I was wondering which arch you need the most help on. I have access to most of the debian supported archs except for sparc64 and real s390 hardware. Thanks, Peter. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?

Boot floppy install problem
Hi, I'm new to Debian and I'm sorry if this post should be in the User list.. I have been trying to do a new install from CD's of linux flavor Debian on a Pentium II. After several attempts (!) the CDROM is no longer operable, the PPP connection is not working, and I am booting from the Boot Floppy I made during the install (or rather from a copy of the Boot Floppy on the hd). So I can't access the Net or the CDROM. In the info that comes up on screen during Boot the system detects the CDROM hdd: GCR-8521b, ATAPI CDROM drive but the CDROM drive won't work. There does not appear to be /dev/cdrom in the system. Later on in thE Boot info, modprobe can't locate char-major-10-135 (the Real Time Clock) but the time is still set anyway. Then we get to Mounting local file systems... and the message is nothing was mounted and finally on Starting Xprint servers I get the warning ##WARNING: can't find /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/encodings/encodings-dir Then the system is booted and I am at the Prompt. If I go to base-config to try and configure the PPP to connect to the Net to get the packages I get as far as "Do you want to use PPP connection?" then I get this message "Filehandle STDIN opened only for output at /usr/share/perl5/Debconf/FrontEnd/Dialog.pm" and then the config gets stuck. i looked in /etc/chatstrings/provider and there are no values for #ispname or #isppassword... is that OK? I am keen to use Debian so I hope I can sort this out! Thanks for taking the time to read this. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
