I downloaded and installed a binary iso from a Debian Linux and I have several problems. I can’t get it to connect. I mounted the disk from the CD I created and the last screen that I get is “logon:”. If I hit the return button after the “logon:”, I get a line that says GNU/Linux 3.0 (none) tty1.
Prior to getting the logon prompt, I get a menu asking me to configure my ISP protocol. I selected PPP. However, my recollection is that Juno uses CHAP for proprietary hand shaking. Should I select CHAP or PPP?
Also, at bootup I get an annoying menu screen with the options of selecting Linux, or “other operating system (was supposed to be dos), or /dev/hda5 (which is supposed to be win2k Pro). If I select the /dev/hda5, my computer goes through some prompts and locks up. However, if I choose other ops, I get the Win2k startup menu with dos and win2k. However, it takes several minutes extra for the computer to bootup.
I can get into Win2k, but am having a lot of trouble — “my computer” won’t come up at all. And I am getting a lock up if I try and save files in Juno. I was able to come up with a work around for saving files in Juno by hitting the “back directory button” and then saving through their. I suspect the problem is a shortage of virtual memory.
I am attempting to install a dual boot with Debbian Linux, Dos, and Win2k Pro. I have 512mb of ram memory installed on a PIII Class Computer.
I have a lot of programs and other things stored on here and believe that approximately 50% of the ram was spoken for before loading the Linux.
Different from WinXP, Win2k loads programs into registry when the programs are installed on the computer while WinXP loads them when they are run.
I would welcome some thoughts on how to fix the problem with “my computer” not coming up. I suspect it would work fine if I removed Debbian Linux.
What do I do?
