Disgust at RH
Greet the sun all,
So far, I am only batting .500 on attempts to install/upgrade RH6.2 on
my various machines. On my database server, the installation croaks
trying to detect my mouse. I tried installing RH6.2 on my laptop but it
blew up about a minute into the install. It was going through the
detection sequence, there was a flash on the screen, then nothing. Tim
Wilson said that he was running Debian on his laptop. I looked at the
Debian website but read no mention of a FTP install similiar to RedHat.
I could do a boot floppy install but I am worried about PCMCIA card
detection which is what I need to complete the network installation. I
read some chapters of O'Reilly's Learning Debian GNU/Linux but it really
did not discuss network installs. My question is:
Can you do a network install of Debian?
If so, can I do it from a laptop?
