I've installed Debian 2.1. I really like it. There's something special about it. I may become a Debiate. Currently, the special thing of focus is that it won't boot. Here's the deal: It was cruising along fine. It booted. It worked. All was right with the world. Then I took the second binary CD into dselect. Oooo, I like this tool. I +ed up all the goodies I wanted until I started getting sleepy. About halfway through the second binary, I quit out of dselect and exited Debian without configuring (or whatever the next dselect step after installing is). Now, it gets to Lilo and acts as if it can't find a boot image... Oh... I'm remembering now. There was a caveat about one program wanting to relocate something like that. I don't remember what the program was. At first I was thinking it had something to do with loading on all the TT font stuff. Okay anyway, my CD Rom is bootable. Can I get back to that place in dselect and live my life over? How can I get back to that point and debug the install? I assume it would come up looking for broken links once I'm there? Thanks -JCJ
