FYI

2. Use a Linux version of fdisk and make a ext2 partition on your hardrive atleast 9 gigs in size. Do not format it. Leave at least 500 megs free. I used a redhat boot disk, I could not get DSL to see the drive without a ext2 partition already on it.

If you cfdisk and then write the partition tables to the drive you have to reboot to make the partitions active...then you can format the drive as ext2 with

Code Sample

mkfs -t ext2 /dev/???

You cant format a harddrive with a freshly changed partition table until you reboot

Could you also get the gcc++.dsl package?

Why not do a "frugal" install instead of a full-bore harddive install, only thing is I dont know how to make the packages stick after you change/update using apt-get on a frugal

I have not tried the frugal instal yet, I thought that maybe if the changes were made, create an image, burn to cd and then proceed with the frugal, you could keep the changes?

To run the server, the older gcc is required. They tell me that the newer versions are broken. I did not try the latest version, just in case it worked?

Thanks for the info on the partitioning, I have been spoiled, with auto partitioning in installation programs. I just went with what I could get to work with the tools at hand. I am sure it was one of the worst ways to get to a final install.

I have burned more cd's after finding this, then in the past 2 years.

Get a CD-RW man...cant go wrong with one of those...plus it saves you the heartache of trying to figure out which dsl you have..heh

Anyone else out there of the guru type willing to put in thier $0.02??

I am sure that everyone is going to think I'm stupid for this one but, I have been unable to get a RW disk to work. I have tried it on three different machines, it goes through the motions, ejects, says everything is OK. Reboot and it says there is nothing on the disk. Boot back into windows, go to read the cd and it is not formated, then it wont read the disk at all. Have to throw them away then. Linux doesn't do any better, have Fedora 4 on a AMD64-3500 w/ a lightscribe, ruins them too.
