Hi speakup,
I'm about to install the Sarge Debian Linux version on my main
machine and have a couple questions:
I can't seem to choose country when in the "choose country" menu of
the installer. You see, i live in Sweden, i want english as my
language but Sweden as my country. I don't hear any country names,
but i hear Europe, South America, North America etc, and where the
countries should be there is only a number sign, ("#"). What thing
am i missing?
There are some options dealing with configuration of where i want to
put my Linux system too. As i mentioned yesterday on the reflector,
i want to put the system on a hard drive that's dedicated for this.
It seems that a manual configuration is the best since the automagic
one wipes everything in the computer clear, is this correct?
Thanks for any help.

Hi hank,
On 10 Mar 2004 08:12:00 (my local time 17:12:00), you typed::
h> how did you get to the automatic config?
h> I can't get past the partitioning. on my linux box.
In the main menu of the installer, there was a choice that said
something like: "Automatically partition hard drives". I thought that
i'd be able to choose what hard drive to automagically configure, but
as i went into that option it told me that it would wipe the whole
machine clean, and if i wanted to back up anything, i should stop at
this point to do so. This lead me to getting out of the program again.

I couldn't get to that point I try to get to that point once in the
partition program and it tells me it can't create a boot partition.
it acts like this thing has a dos partition.
I got this hd used.

I encountered the same problem during my installs. I think
it's a bug in d-i so my advice would be to just use the
defaults and change your system language once you get
everything installed.

Yeah, I'd definitely go with manual if you have other
drives which you don't waqnt wiped. Use the manual
partitioning tool and just create your linux partitions on
the clear drive.
