Follow through the initial options "Choose Language", "Choose country or region", "Select a keyboard layout", "Detect and mount CD-ROM". Linux will now boot, and then start the installation program, which will present a menu of options, which is quite straightforward. Should we have wanted to use kernel 2.4 in Expert installation mode, we only would have needed to enter 'expert'. So, to do this, we type 'expert26' and press Enter. We are also going to use 'Expert' mode to install the system, so that we get a wide range of options to choose from. I have chosen to use 2.6.x instead, because I needed it for other reasons. You should see the Debian swirl logo appear and a prompt that says "Press F1 for Help, or ENTER to boot:".ĭebian Sarge's default kernel is 2.4.x, which would work fine for the task at hand. Once you have operational hardware, boot up the machine, and insert the Debian Sarge Linux installation disk into the CDROM drive. My hard disks were set to be /dev/hda and /dev/hdd, because QEMU insists that the CDROM must be /dev/hdc.
The system that I used for this article was a QEMU virtual machine. The two disk drives should be on separate buses, if using IDE, otherwise the performance will be terrible. It is nicer if the drives are identical, but this isn't essential. Firstly, you'll need a system with two hard disk drives, and a CDROM drive.
