heya guys, last question for now

Is it better to install Sarge/Sid from their install image or from Woody and then dong an update to either one of them with apt-get? (i usually do network installs anyways, i just install the base from the CD and apt-get the rest )

thanks

-Krause

I've never had a problem installing a very minimal "stable" install from the network, and then running the upgrade. That way you don't run into problems with the new installer which (last I looked) still wasn't as reliable as the network install with "Woody."

If it were me, I would go with installing one of them first rather than going with Woody and then changing over. I don't know why, but I have not had such good luck with going unstable after installing Woody. Perhaps that is just me.

it's a matter of choice, i go cd1, woody to sid. Half-hour to install woody, and half-hour to dist-upgrade to sid. I have only used the beta-installer once and it crapped on me. Take your pick.

i say get the debian-installer disc, which will install sarge by default.

woody is old, and sid will eventually break because it is "unstable"

good ole testing (sarge) will do you well...it has me for about 4 months now.

Hi zero79,
i am planning to install Debian in my Laptop (thinkpad G40) ,
i want Kernel2.6.x and wireless newtork using ORiNOCO's PCMCIA card.
I brought 6CD set for Debian woody3.0R1 , when i installed in my desktop it installed Kernel2.2 with GNOME1.4 KDE3.0,
But some one suggested instaid of booting form DISC1 boot use DISC5 to install Kernel2.4 , i did it and installed 2.4.18.

this time i want to install Debian on my Laptop with kernel 2.6.* how to do this.?
Does this new installer installs 2.6.x kernel .
And i want ACPI enabled in that kernle.
can u tell me how to use this installer for kernel 2.6

Can u please suggest me how to do this ????

I don't think 2.6 is in stable yet, but you can install with debian-installer (made by Debian for "sid", automatic hw discovery, etc.). As for ACPI, if debian-installer doesn't do it by default, you could try installing with Knoppix or enabling post-install (I'm fairly sure debian-installer does enable ACPI by default)

Location for debian-installer: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/

Location for Knoppix: http://www.knoppix.org/

Zaskar - i used the debian-installer for sarge, it is very easy to use. never really used woody at all, too old. i also agree with zero79, sarge has worked well

narensr - get the debian installer and when you boot it up at the very first boot: prompt, type linux26 and it will install the latest 2.6 kernel (the most recent one i have installed with this is 2.6.7)

Hi ,
I installed last night Debian on my laptop using the new debian-installer for sarge with linux26.
Kernel2.6 is coooooll ...ACPI is by default enabled..it is working perfectly.. .. tonight i need to configure my ORiNOCO 11a/b/g (8480 - WD) wireless card(PCMCIA) .
thanks guys for your help.. i will keep posting for any help to configure WLAN.....

thanks/regards
Narensr

For anyone that wants to know...

you are give the option of installing "stable, testing, or unstable" if you use the latest nightly builds of the "businesscard.iso" netinstaller. That's all I ever use and it's worked perfectly every time.

Hi ,
please help me to configure my Wireless network:

please help me to configure my wireless card................

thanks/regards
Naren

try asking the question about your wireless network card in the hardware forum. i don't have any experience with them, so i'm no help. it would be useful to post what card you have, what you've tried to get it working, etc.

good luck.

dude , unstable ( Sid) doesnt mean it IS unstable

it is just a name
