Installation help
OK.. I didnt want to resort to filling up this mailing list but I am
frustrated. The problem is that I have the entire Debian installation
software on a DOS partition, from which I want to install from. When I
boot up with the boot and root disks, I am not allowed to mount the
msdos drive, which is /dev/hdc1. I am installing to a logical partition
on /dev/hda7 which is linux-ready to go. I tried going to the shell,
and mounting it, which worked, but I have no ls or cp command to view
it. After I mounted it, I tried to install but it would only let me
install from CDrom or floppy, no option for hard drive. I even
formatted another partition to linux, in the hopes that I could copy the
files from the MSDOS drive to the linux drive to install, but alas, no
"cp" command in the boot shell. ARgh.. please help me.. Thanks
