<P>
|
|
<P>I wrote this paper during the installation process but since I
|
|
encountered several problems at the same time, my notes were
|
|
disparate and sometimes I forgot to write the good command lines
|
|
because I was too fed up to reboot (kernel compilations) and edit
|
|
this file each time.
|
|
<P>When the installation went wrong (it did, I'm a beginner on laptops,
|
|
plip, linux nfs, portmapper, Debian), I tried several things to fix
|
|
the problems. When they remained too long, my brain was focused on
|
|
solving, not writing.
|
|
<P>So, when the installation process finally succeeded, I decided to
|
|
restart the process from scratch by noting everything in order to
|
|
save <B>your</B> time. It was the first time I had installed Linux
|
|
twice on the same computer.
|
|
<P>Then, in order to verify the document, I again restarted from
|
|
scratch with a Slink Debian distribution (the next after the Hamm
|
|
one). It was the first time I had installed Linux 3 times on the
|
|
same computer. I hope it was the last time I have to do that.
|
|
<P>
|
|
<P><B>Conclusion</B>: If you do what is in this paper, it should
|
|
work.
