Hi Everyone,
I just d/led and burnt 0.9.3 iso and in my excitement I've stuck the CD in
booted and it's worked!
Problem is now that I'm being asked were the install files are on the
cdrom.. but I have no idea...
what's the file system look like I'm installing serial on a 715/64.
If I don't hear from anyone, I guess I'll just have to restart the install
and check the file system on another computer.. :)
Pete

Generally speaking, just hit return to most of those confusing
questions when doing a CD install. The exception is that on
one screen you'll be offered two choices of kernel/modules, one for
32 bit and one for 64. Make sure you pick the right one. If you
are not sure which was booted, you could scroll down to 'execute a
shell' on the menu and do 'uname -a' (or Alt-F2 if on graphics console).
You may also get asked about installing woody or sid; choose woody,
which is the first option, so again <return> does the right thing.
I've just heard that adding 'cdrom' as a boot option makes some of
this confusion go away, but I havn't investigated yet.

I have it installed now.. :)
Put it down to a first time debian install too. I was able to browse the
directory tree on the CD once I hit the <...>.
Thanks.
The installation really is simple and straight forward. It's not time I
learn how to use debian and it's package manager. I d/led the the base
install ISO, and now want to get apache on it.. :)
