Blogging a Debian Install

Blogging a Debian Install
Leigh blogged his Debian install on a laptop.

Blogging a Debian Install Blogging my experiments to install a Debian distribution onto my laptop. Not sure it'll work, but I'll feel better knowing I've tried it! :)

2nd July 2002

The install went relatively painlessly last night, I know have a bootable base installation of Debian. I actually ran through the install twice, once to familiarise myself with how it all worked, and then a second time for the real installation. The network card was automatically recognised so installing over the network was pretty painless. The choice to use an ext3 partition was given in the installer so no problems there either. I ended up with a 400MB swap partition and the rest of the 30Gb disk as a single partition. I didn't create a partition for the Suspend on Disk feature because there wasn't one there to begin with. If it doesn't work, I'll just rebuild the system.
