Installation Questions 4282
Correct... I downloaded the Ram disk from the Debian site along with the program that boots from Ram disk (bootstra.prg). I can see just...
Agreed.
Yes and no. The new hard works great with my machine. It is just for some reason in the installation process, the ram disk freezes up.
yes
No I did not create it. It was on the debian site for download..
Probably after I install Linux, but now I am just trying to install it.
My Fault. The hard drive is an external one and is SCSI.
Yes I use an IDE drive for my system and I can boot my computer with the new hard disk attached. The driver for the hard disk is fine as I can access new drive from my desktop and parbreastion it to my liking.
No I experience no crash here.

I am wondering if I just need to use the newer kernels instead of the one Hades kernel I have which is version 2.2love. I am also wondering if I could put some other statements in my argument file that would give me some video and if so, what are they?
No, not at this time. I need to install it first. Hello Laurenz, Basically it is this way. I...
Laurenz, sorry about this long message, but I do not know how else to put it.
