First, this is a Debian list, not an Ubuntu list. Second, as far as I know, there are proprietary components to that tablet which make it impossible for Debian to be installed.

You are usually given a choice of mirror during installation. Did this not happen? I'm afraid that I do not know what 191.00mb-napoleon.um.se is. :-( You should be able to install without a mirror from CD1. You could then sort out mirrors once you had the distro installed. I believe that the install CD should ask whether you want to sort out mirrors, and you should be able to install without an Internet connection. But I am not sure. It is some time since I installed the system from CD. I always use the netinstall CD. Lisi -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Sounds like you have a defective HD. Just because fsck conked out? get real. Of course, the problem on Debian is that maintenance mode (i.e. single-user-mode) has already tried to mount all filesystems. Instead, try this: At grub's menu, edit the kernel command line so that you add: init=/bin/sh My debian sid now break more, after I add init-/bin/sh to the kernel boot line, and reboot, the process dead at this message line: kernel panic - not syncing: Attempted to kill init! I cannot log into my system anymore, how could I resolve it? thank you. a more detail error messages: -- begin: mounting root file system begin:running /scripts/local-top ... done. begin: running /scripts/local-premount... done kjournald starting. commit interval 5 seconds ext3-fs:mount filesystem with ordered data mode. begin:running /script/local-bottom... done done. begin:running /script/init-bottom...done mount:mounting /sys on /root/sys failed: invaild argument run-init:/sbin/init:I/O error kernel panic - not syncing:attempted to kill init! This way, the kernel will boot, the initrd scripts will run, but insead of normal init running (with the init scripts), you'll end up with the / fs mounte ro and no init scripts having been run. Its like booting a LiveCD without being able to write anything. You'll be able to run any apps in /bin and /sbin. You'll get a sh prompt. Run the following (assuming that your root fs is ext2 or ext3): /sbin/e2fsck -C 0 -f -y /dev/sda4 This will run an fsck on /dev/sda4. -C 0 gives you the progress indicator, -f causes it to run even if it looks clean, and -y answers yes to all fix? questions. If you want to also check the drive for bad blocks, add: -c -c to the option list. This will take a long time. You may find that e2fsck has to be run a couple of time until no errors are reported. When you want to exit and try rebooting, since you've dillied with the fs, I'd: sync halt Ideally, halt would sync the disks, but the man page says that it can't unless /proc is mounted. When the system is halted, turn the power off, wait 15 seconds and power on. Alternatively, if you don't want to halt and power-cycle, but want to immediatly try booting, do: exec init which will terminate your sh process and run the init process. Good luck.

It then asks for a protocol and I choose 'http' although I also tried 'ftp' and it fails also. Stop right there. Get a Debian-based live CD. If the Debian installer has any chance of working, the live CD will work all by itself automatically. There is no point in trying to do the Debian install if the live CD does not work. Try this one. http://damnsmalllinux.org/download.html It's got most of Knoppix' hardware discovery but the image is much smaller to download. When the live CD comes up, get a shell and ping kernel.org. If that works, cat /etc/resolv.conf and write down the nameservers it found. Run ifconfig and write down the IP address that was assigned to your eth0 or wlan0. Run route -n and write down your gateway address and netmask. While you're at it, if The X Window System is working well with your video card and mouse, copy /etc/X11/xorg.conf someplace. One way to do that is to log into a web-based email and mail that file to yourself. Finally, run lsmod and mail yourself the list of modules the live CD thinks it needed. If you are really lucky, the live CD figured out your sound card and sound works. Try it. Sound probably won't work out of the box with the Debian Etch installer, and the live CD has figured out what you will need to fix. The answer is in the lsmod output. Each piece of information you have just gathered is something I have seen the live CDs do right and the Debian installer screw up. Letting the live CD do the work will save you a *lot* of screwing around. When you boot the Etch 4.0r1 installer, before it starts looking for a network mirror, get a shell (F2, enter) and cat /etc/resolv.conf, and run route -n. If the answers are not the same as what you got with the live CD, that's your problem. Do the base system install off your netinst or CD 1 of 21 without the network. It will reboot and you can log in. You'll have to edit /etc/modules, /etc/resolv.conf, /etc/apt/sources.list, and /etc/network/interfaces. Then you can use apt-get or aptitude and install the stuff you want. Cameron -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just do a minimal install from the netinst.iso. When you get to choosing a mirror, choose none. Let it try to contact security.debian.org, which will fail, but it will put a commented-out line in your sources.list file. When you get to task selector, deselect everything. You will then just get a base install minimal system. When you boot into the system and log in for the first time, you can type: # dmesg | less and look for what hardware was found. The dmesg is a ring-buffer that is filled by the kernel as hardware is found by the drivers. You should see everything. However, if this computer doesn't have a PCI bus but instead and ISA/EISA bus, then there may be some more work to do since the hardware set-up is different and not so automatic. What kind of computer is this: Processor: Memory: Hard drive space: System bus type: As long as you are able to install a base system, dmesg will tell you most of this.

Hi Sandra, The apache server can server static and dynamic web pages. At the moment, you suggest that you can create static webpages. But you at the moment do not have the familiarity with the process of transferring web pages to your web server. This would usually be accomplished with one of two tool: ftp or ssh. I would suggest getting assisance from the folks hosting your server. Beyond that I'd suggest a trip to a local library, browse google for 'basic file upload' or browsing a book store and looking for the o'riley books. And of course you may want to hire a consultant to give your a basic tutorial or even hire someone to do the pages. There is also another option that may require some extra effort. You could try to learn some stuff about Gnu/Linux at a local linux users group (aka a LUG). Most are very helpful and welcoming to new users. There is one caveat: web pages are meant to represent professionalism, so if you can not do justice to the web site by the standards of the partners, it is worth it to hire someone to create something that represents your organization. feel free to ask more question.

Basically your host is using Debian/Apache on the host server, and since you have yet to upload any content, Debian's default page is displayed. The host provider should have provided you with an ftp address (probably), allowing you to ftp up your web content. There are any number of ftp programs that would get you in (Windows even has a [very poor] ftp client built in). Basically you just connect to that address, and copy up the files, and then you should be able to see your content from a web browser. -- Kent -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Please contact the sender immediately if you are not the intended recipient of this information and do not copy, distribute or take action relying on it. Any communication received in error, or subsequent reply, should be deleted or destroyed. Thank you. Here's the bottom line. Your provider should have provided you with information, understandable to non-techie people, on how to upload your website content on their server. If they didn't, they damn well ought to have done. As someone else mentioned the most common / simplest mechanism is for them to give you the address of an FTP (File Transfer Protocol) server somewhere on the net that you send your files to. The more sophisticated providers will wrap that up in some sort of website so you essentially go to the site, log in, click links to upload your HTML etc files, wait a short while and hey presto your website is deployed. Less sophisticated ones just give you an address, a login and a password but will probably give you more help if you ask / pay for it. If your provider has done none of the above despite your asking specifically for help with this problem, you should consider switching providers as that quite frankly is crap. The fact that your provider allows the default Debian / Apache page to display if you don't upload content, and doesn't instead replace that with their own page saying how great they are and what a great deal their subscribers get by using them, tends to place them in the non-sophisticated category in my mind -- but I could be wrong. In any event they ought to be willing to help non-technical customers get their site up and running. Apologies if I seem to have got unnecessarily fired up about this one, but seeing non-technical people lost in the techie wilderness and getting no help raises my hackles like nothing else, and some of the people in this forum, while all trying to be helpful I'm sure, have been guilty of making the same assumptions as your provider seems to have made -- viz that you are technically skilled at maintaining a web site. Anyway focus your energies on your provider, don't take no (or silence) for an answer, and ultimately consider switching providers if you don't get the help you deserve. (Please don't ask me to recommend a provider -- I'm afraid I don't know) Good luck Mark -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
