Subject: debian install issue solved
Date: Fri, 05 Dec 2003 09:54:04 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <6.0.0.22.2.20031205094828.01b1dda0@wiscmail.wisc.edu> (raw)
I've been stuck since last weekend on a debian install via a serial
console. After installing the base system, you reboot from the hard disk
and complete the install. But the second stage of the set up program wasn't
waiting for keyboard input. The questions just scrolled by like I was
holding down a key.
I'm using Hyperterminal on a Windows PC as the terminal. And I found that
the problem went away if I switched the emulation from VT100 to ANSI. So
it didn't have anything to do with the baud rate or the flow control. When
I left it last night it was downloading packages so by now I may have a
functioning system.
Anyway, I thought I'd post the answer in case someone in the future had the
same problem and was googling for answers.
