-<h2>Release management</h2>
-
-<p>This release of Debian was managed by Richard Braakman and Anthony Towns.
-
-<h2>Installation System</h2>
-
-<p>Many Debian developers, translators, documenters, testers, and
-users have contributed to the development of the installation system
--- too many to mention, in fact.  Adam Di Carlo was the maintainer of
-the boot-floppies during the period of the Potato release.  Other
-significant contributors can be found in the <code>Maintainers</code>
-file of the <code>boot-floppies</code> package.</p>
-
-<p>Thanks to Bill Bennet, The ComputerHelperGuy, for his donation of
-Potato <a href="http://www.chguy.net/potato.html">official CDs</a> to
-the Debian boot-floppies team.</p>
-
-<h2>The rest of Debian</h2>
-
-<p>The developers and everyone else
-who contributed.</p>

-<p><strong>Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 has been obsoleted by
-<a href="../woody/">Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 ("woody")</a>.
-Security updates are discontinued as of June 30th, 2003.</strong>
-Please see
-<a href="https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2003/debian-devel-announce-200302/msg00010.html">\
-the security team survey results</a> for more information.</p>
-
-<h2>Security issues</h2>
-
-<p>Debian security team issues updates to packages in the stable release
-in which they've identified problems related to security. Please consult the
-<a href="$(HOME)/security/">security pages</a> for information about
-any security issues identified in `potato'.</p>
-
-<p>If you use APT, add the following line to <tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt>
-to be able to access the latest security updates:</p>
-
-<pre>
-  deb http://security.debian.org/ potato/updates main contrib non-free
-</pre>
-
-<p>After that, run <kbd>apt-get update</kbd> followed by
-<kbd>apt-get upgrade</kbd>.</p>
-
-<h2>Point releases</h2>
-
-<p>Sometimes, in the case of several critical problems or security updates, the
-released distribution is updated.  Generally, these are indicated as point
-releases.</p>
-
-<ul>
-  <li>The first point release, 2.2r1, was released on <a href="$(HOME)/News/2000/20001114">November 14, 2000</a>.</li>
-  <li>The second point release, 2.2r2, was released on <a href="$(HOME)/News/2000/20001205">December 3, 2000</a>.</li>
-  <li>The third point release, 2.2r3, was released on <a href="$(HOME)/News/2001/20010417">April 17, 2001</a>.</li>
-  <li>The fourth point release, 2.2r4, was released on <a href="$(HOME)/News/2001/20011105">November 5, 2001</a>.</li>
-  <li>The fifth point release, 2.2r5, was released on <a href="$(HOME)/News/2002/20020110">January 10, 2002</a>.</li>
-  <li>The sixth point release, 2.2r6, was released on <a href="$(HOME)/News/2002/20020403">April 3, 2002</a>.</li>
-  <li>The seventh point release, 2.2r7, was released on <a href="$(HOME)/News/2002/20020713">July 13, 2002</a>.</li>
-</ul>
-
-<p>
-See the <a href="http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/potato/ChangeLog">
-ChangeLog</a> (and
-<a href="http://archive.debian.org/debian-non-US/dists/potato/non-US/ChangeLog">
-ChangeLog for non-US</a>) for details on changes.</p>
-
-<p>Fixes to the released stable distribution often go through an
-extended testing period before they are accepted into the archive.
-However, these fixes are available in the
-<a href="http://archive.debian.org/debian/dists/potato-proposed-updates/">
-dists/potato-proposed-updates</a> directory of any Debian archive
-mirror (and on the same location at our
-<a href="http://archive.debian.org/debian-non-US/dists/potato-proposed-updates/">
-non-US server</a> and its mirrors).</p>
-
-<p>If you use <tt>apt</tt> to update your packages, you can install
-the proposed updates by adding the following line to
-<tt>/etc/apt/sources.list</tt>:</p>
-
-# These links should probably be localized in translated versions,
-# if possible.
-<pre>
-  \# proposed additions for a 2.2 point release
-  deb http://archive.debian.org dists/potato-proposed-updates/
-  deb http://archive.debian.org/debian-non-US dists/potato-proposed-updates/
-</pre>
-
-<p>After that, run <kbd>apt-get update</kbd> followed by
-<kbd>apt-get upgrade</kbd>.</p>
-
-# someone please verify if this is still true for 2.2r3:
-# 
-# <h2>Building CD images</h2>
-# 
-# <p>People wishing to create custom CD images for 2.2r2 will need to use
-# the CVS version of `debian-cd' and <strong>not</strong> the version currently
-# installed in potato.</p>
-
-<h2>Unofficial Internationalized Installation Support</h2>
-
-<p>An internationalized version of the installation system for i386 is
-available (https://people.debian.org/~aph/current-i18n/) for
-testing and use.  You need to use the 'idepci' or 'compact' flavors.</p>
-
-<p>Due to some remaining problems with the internationalized
-installation system, it is unlikely to be included officially in a
-Potato point release.  We can only hope we can get it shaped up for <a
-href="../woody/">woody</a>.</p>
-
-
-<h2>Unofficial ReiserFS Support</h2>
-
-<p>There seem to be at least two unofficial versions of the
-installation system for i386 supporting ReiserFS.</p>
-
-<p>One version is from John H. Robinson, IV, and is available with
-some instructions at <a
-href="http://chao.ucsd.edu/debian/boot-floppies/">
-http://chao.ucsd.edu/debian/boot-floppies/</a>.</p>
-
-<p>The other is from Marc A. Volovic and is available at
-http://www.bard.org.il/~marc/linux/rfs/.</p>
-
-
-<h2>Unofficial Linux Kernel 2.4 Support</h2>
-
-<p>
-Adrian Bunk has provided a set of packages for i386 Potato systems
-which provide compatibility for Linux Kernel 2.4.x.  Please read <a
-href="http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/kernel-24.html">
-http://www.fs.tum.de/~bunk/kernel-24.html</a> for instructions,
-warnings, and lines to add to <code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code>.</p>

-<a href="$(HOME)/News/2000/20000815">press release</a>.</p>
-
-<p>Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 is dedicated to the memory of Joel "Espy" Klecker, a
-Debian developer, unbeknownst to most of the Debian Project, was bedridden
-and fighting a disease known as Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy during most of
-his involvement with Debian. Only now is the Debian Project realizing the
-extent of his dedication, and the friendship he bestowed upon us. So as a
-show of appreciation, and in memory of his inspirational life, this release
-of Debian GNU/Linux is dedicated to him.</p>
-
-<p>Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 is available from the Internet or from CD
-vendors, please see the <a href="$(HOME)/distrib/">Distribution
-page</a> for more information on getting Debian.</p>
-
-<p>The following architectures are supported in this release:</p>
-
-<ul>
-<: foreach $arch (@arches) {
-      print "<li><a href=\"$(HOME)/ports/$arch/\">$arches{$arch}</a>\n";
-   } :>
-</ul>
-
-<p>Before installing Debian, please read the <A HREF="installmanual">\
-Installation Manual</A>. The Installation Manual for your target
-architecture contains instructions and links for all the files you need
-to install. You might also be interested in the <a href="installguide/">\
-installation guide for Debian 2.2</a>, which is an on line tutorial.</p>
-
-<p>If you are using APT, you can use the following lines in your
-<code>/etc/apt/sources.list</code> file to be able to access potato
-packages:</p>
-
-<pre>
-  deb http://archive.debian.org potato main contrib non-free
-  deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US potato/non-US main non-free
-</pre>
-
-<p>Read the <code>apt-get</code>(8) and the <code>sources.list</code>(5)
-manual pages for more information.</p>
-
-<p>Contrary to our wishes, there are some problems that exist in the
-potato release, even though it is declared <em>stable</em>. We've made
-<a href="errata">a list of the major known problems</a>, and you can
-always <a href="reportingbugs">report other issues</a> to us.</p>
-
-<p>Data integrity is granted by a digitally signed <code>Release</code> file.
-To ensure that all files in the release belong to it, MD5 checksums of all
-<code>Packages</code> files are copied into the
-<code>Release</code> file.  Digital signatures for this file are
-stored in the file <code>Release.gpg</code>, using this key: <a
-href="https://ftp-master.debian.org/ziyi_key_2002.asc">\
-ftpmaster</a>.</p>
-
-<p>To verify the <code>Release</code> file, you'll have to fetch both
-files and execute <code>gpg --verify Release.gpg Release</code> after
-importing the keys it is signed with.</p>
-
-<p>Last but not least, we have a list of <a href="credits">people who take

-<H3>by Mark Stone</H3>
-
-<P><em><strong>Note</strong>: this is <strong>not</strong> the official
-<A HREF="../installmanual">Installation manual for Debian GNU/Linux 2.2
-(`potato')</A>.</em>
-
-<P>Hamm. Slink. Potato. Woody. No, you aren't watching "Toy Story". You've
-encountered the lineage of Debian distributions. Whether your aim is to
-expel the evil operating system Zurg from your computer, or find a way to
-peacefully co-exist with it, you'll find that the current stable release of
-Debian, aka Potato, is the easiest Debian to work with yet.
-
-<P>Traditionally Debian and Red Hat have contrasted as Linux distributions:
-Red Hat is reputed to be easier to install, while Debian is reputed to be
-easier to maintain and upgrade once installed. While that distinction still
-holds true, Debian is now much easier to install.
-
-<P>We aren't going to take you through all the intricacies of Debian in
-this article. What we are going to do is show you how to set up a dual boot
-machine that will enable you to run either Windows or Debian GNU/Linux, and
-we're going to show you how to do the kind of simple install a beginner
-would want to play around with Linux and get a feel for how the system
-works.
-
-<P>We're going to go through several stages here:
-
-<OL>
-  <LI>Documenting your system;
-  <LI>Preparing your hard drive;
-  <LI>Installing the base Debian system;
-  <LI>Selecting and installing packages;
-  <li>Configuring the system;
-  <li>A brief glimpse at Debian upgrading.
-</ol>
-
-<P>Debian can be installed from floppy disks if absolutely necessary; we're
-going to assume, however, that you have a Debian Potato CD.  Debian can be
-installed on a wide range of systems, from old 486 computers to modern
-non-Intel architectures. A full install of every possible Debian package
-would run several Gigs; some versions of Linux can fit on a single floppy.
-The range of possibilities with Linux is wide. We're going to assume,
-however, a typical profile.  We'll assume that you have an existing machine
-running Windows 98, with adequate hardware to do so. We'll assume you have a
-current Pentium processor, at least 64 megs of RAM, video card that will
-support true color in at least 1024x768, a CDROM drive, a modem, and an
-ample hard drive (we'll use 10 Gig in this example).
-
-<P>Finally, we'll assume that you don't want to eliminate Windows just yet,
-but want to set up your machine so that you can select either Windows or
-Linux at start up, i.e. at boot time. This kind of setup is called a dual
-boot machine.
-
-<P>Remember, no guide to installation covers everything. But remember also
-you're not alone. The #linuxhelp irc channel on irc.freenode.net is an
-excellent place to look for help, as is #linux.com-live! Be sure to check
-Linux.com's Live! calendar for upcoming irc-based installfests. In fact, in
-this article was made possible by the outstanding answers that came in over
-IRC during the installfest done over IRC at LinuxWorld Conference and Expo
-this past August.
-
-<h3>Documenting Your System</h3>
-
-<P>Linux does an excellent job these days of autoprobing your system to
-determine what hardware you have, and what settings that hardware is
-configured for. Sometimes, however, Linux does need help, and there are
-occasions where you'll find that you have some component not yet supported
-by Linux. To anticipate these contingencies, and to know what to do about
-them, it's important to document exactly what you have on your machine.
-
-<P>Here's a suitable checklist of the various system components you'll want
-to know about ahead of time:
-
-<table>
-
-  <tr>
-    <th>Device</th>
-    <th>Information Needed</th>
-  </tr>
-
-  <tr>
-    <td>Hard Drive(s)</td>
-    <td>Number, size, and type of each hard drive.  Which hard drive is
-    recognized by your computer as first, second, and so on.  Which adapter
-    type (IDE or SCSI) is used by each drive.</td>
-  </tr>
-
-  <tr>
-    <td>RAM</td>
-    <td>The amount of installed RAM</td>
-  </tr>
-
-  <tr>
-    <td>CDROM Drive(s)</td>
-    <td>Which adapter type (IDE or SCSI) is used by each drive.</td>
-  </tr>
-
-  <tr>
-    <td>SCSI Adapter (if any)</td>
-    <td>Make and model of the card.</td>
-  </tr>
-
-  <tr>
-    <td>Network Adapter (if any)</td>
-    <td>Make and model of the card.</td>
-  </tr>
-
-  <tr>
-    <td>Mouse</td>
-    <td>Type (PS/2, USB, serial, or bus).  Protocol (Microsoft, Logitech,
-    MouseMan, etc.).  If serial, the port to which it's connected.</td>
-  </tr>
-
-  <tr>
-    <td>Video Adapter</td>
-    <td>Make and model of the card.  Amount of video RAM.</td>
-  </tr>
-
-  <tr>
-    <td>Monitor</td>
-    <td>Highest color depth and screen resolution the monitor supports
-    under Windows.  Horizontal and vertical refresh rates.</td>
-  </tr>
-
-
-  <tr>
-    <td>Modem (if any)</td>
-    <td>If external, the serial port to which it's connected.</td>
-  </tr>
-
-</table>
-
-
-<P>Windows can actually provide you with most of the information you need
-about your system. Select Start -&gt; Settings -&gt; Control Panel -&gt;
-System.  You should see something like:
-
-<P><a href="deb.0201.png"><img src="deb.0201-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>Most of the information you want will be found in the Device Manager.
-Selecting that tab should bring up a window like this:
-
-<P><a href="deb.0202.png"><img src="deb.0202-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>This will show you which devices are installed on your system. Selecting
-a device, and clicking on the "Properties" button will show you the
-settings for that device.
-
-<h3>Preparing Your Hard Drive</h3>
-
-Bill Gates once said, "640k of RAM ought to be enough for anyone." It's
-that kind of forward-looking view of the world that gives us a peculiar DOS
-contrivance now turned into a useful tool: the disk partition. DOS, Windows
-3.1, and even the initial release of Windows 95 had limitations on how much
-hard drive space they could recognize. If a drive were larger than this
-recognizable limit (2 Gigs under Windows 95, I believe), then the operating
-system simply couldn't "see" the rest of the drive.
-
-<P>To work around this limitation, drives could be formatted into logically
-separated segments, called partitions. Once formatted in this way, each
-partition was treated by the operating system as if it were a separate hard
-drive. Under Windows, if you started with hard drive C:, and partitioned
-this, the first partition would appear as C:, and the second partition
-would appear as D:.
-
-<P>We'll exploit this construct to leave one partition formatted as a
-Windows partition, and to create a second partition formatted as a Linux
-partition on which to install Debian GNU/Linux.
-
-<P>Windows 98 can recognize large disk sizes, so these days
-most computers ship with a hard drive formatted as a single partition. This
-means that you'll need to:
-
-<OL>
-  <LI>defragment your hard drive;
-  <li>resize the existing partition to fill only part of the drive, and
-  <LI>add a second partition on the newly freed up space.
-</ol>
-
-<P>The trick is to resize your Windows partition without destroying any of
-the data. This used to be an arduous task. These days it is fairly
-straightforward using a simple tool called GNU Parted. Here's what we're
-going to do:
-
-<OL>
-  <LI>Create a boot floppy disk containing the absolute minimal Linux
-  components needed to run Parted;
-  <LI>Boot your computer with this floppy disk;
-  <li>Run Parted to shrink your Windows partition;
-  <LI>Reboot the computer and start the Debian installation.
-</ol>
-
-<P>Resizing your hard drive nondestructively will be easiest, and least
-likely to cause problems, if you defragment your hard drive first.  Windows
-doesn't store all files in contiguous sectors on your disk. As a result,
-files can end up scattered across a much larger portion of your hard drive
-than the amount of drive space you're actually using.  Defragmenting simply
-packs all sectors being used as efficiently as possible onto the beginning
-of your hard drive.
-
-<P>You can use Windows' native defragmenting tool by selecting Start -&gt;
-Programs -&gt; Accessories -&gt; System Utilities -&gt; Disk Utilities.
-More effective defragmentation programs come with utility suites like Norton
-Utilities.
-
-<h3>Creating a Parted Boot Floppy</h3>
-
-<P>Initially, your hard drive will look something like this if you select
-My Computer -&gt; C: -&gt; Properties:
-
-<P><a href="01win98.png"><img src="01win98-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>To create the Parted floppy, you'll need:
-
-<OL>
-  <LI>a blank floppy disk,
-  <LI>the Parted disk image,
-  <li>a program for writing raw files to disk called Rawrite.
-</ol>
-
-<P>You can get the Parted disk image from <a
-href="https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/">https://www.gnu.org/software/parted/</a>.
-It's the file ending in the .img extension. There should be a copy of
-Rawrite on your Debian CD. If you can't find it, you can always download it
-from <a
-href="http://ftp.debian.org/debian/tools/">ftp.debian.org/debian/tools/</a>.
-
-<P>When you run rawrite it will prompt you for the source file; give it the
-path to where you've downloaded the Parted disk image. This will be
-something like "C:\Windows\Desktop\parted.img". It will then prompt you for
-the target location, meaning your floppy drive. Enter in "A:".
-
-<P>Now simply reboot your computer with this floppy disk in the drive.
-
-<h3>Running Parted</h3>
-
-<P>When this floppy boots, you'll see a lot of unfamiliar messages scroll
-by that are a routine part of the Linux boot process. You'll eventually
-come to a command line prompt, something reminiscent of running DOS, and
-you'll see a message that says "You can run parted by typing 'parted
-DEVICE' where device is the name of the drive you wish to partition."
-
-<P>Linux has a different naming scheme for disk drives. All devices,
-including disk drives, are listed in a directory called "/dev". IDE hard
-drives -- the most common type -- start with the letters "hd". The first
-hard drive will be "a", the second "b", and so on.  Each partition on a
-drive gets a number, starting with "1". So Linux would refer to the first
-partition on your first hard drive as "/dev/hda1", and would refer to the
-whole first hard drive as "/dev/hda".
-
-<P>The command we're looking for, assuming you have an IDE drive, is:
-parted /dev/hda.
-
-<P>This will bring you to a new command line with a prompt like this:
-
-<P><tt> (parted) </tt>
-
-<P>If you hit enter, type "?", or type "help" at this point, you'll get a
-list of all the parted commands, like this:
-
-<P><a href="01parted.png"><img src="01parted-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>Let's assume we want to shrink our partition down from 10 Gigs to, say,
-4 Gigs. Then we want to resize minor partition number 1, starting at the
-beginning, and ending at 4000. The command would look like this:
-
-<P><tt> (parted) resize 1 0 4000 </tt>
-
-<P>That's all you have to do.
-
-<P>You may see some warning messages appear when running parted that have
-to do with either small discrepancies in the way Windows and Linux measure
-disk size, or that have to do with moving Windows system files.  In our
-experience, these warnings can safely be ignored.
-
-<P>If you reboot your computer at this point, Windows 98 will come up just
-as before, and all your programs and files will be intact. The only
-difference you'll notice is that Windows now thinks it has a smaller hard
-drive:
-
-<P><a href="06win98.png"><img src="06win98-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>You're now ready to start installing Debian.
-
-<h3>Installing the Base Debian System</h3>
-
-<P>Most computers today have a BIOS configured to support bootable CDs.  If
-your computer supports bootable CDs, then all you need to do is insert the
-Debian Potato CD in the drive, and reboot your computer.
-
-<P>If your computer does not support bootable CDs, then you'll need to
-create a Debian boot floppy. You'll use the same Rawrite program you used
-to create the parted floppy. You just need to point Rawrite at the Debian
-boot floppy image instead. You'll find this on the Debian CD. The path
-should be something like D:\foo.
-
-<P>Make sure your Debian CD is in the CDROM drive. Whether booting from the
-CD, or a boot floppy, you should see a startup screen like this:
-
-<P><a href="11debian.png"><img src="11debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>At this point you can simply hit enter. Indeed, you'll be prompted on
-several basic points about your system at the beginning of the install, for
-which it's generally safe to select the default by hitting enter.
-
-<P>You'll find that Debian's install script uses a few simple conventions
-for navigation. This is a curses-based installation script.  That's a fancy
-way of saying that the script uses the full screen, and has the concept of
-a cursor, but not the concept of a mouse. "Curses" is the library within
-Linux that provides this capability. On any given screen you can usually
-navigate between selections by using the tab key, or the up or down arrow
-keys. Hitting enter makes a particular selection.
-
-<P>You'll also find that Debian's install script will repeatedly ask you
-what medium you want to install from, and which sources you want to install
-from that medium. For purposes of this article, we will always be
-installing from CD, and we will always be installing from the <b>stable
-main archive</b>. If you find this repeated query for the same information
-annoying, you're not alone. Just remember that this structure does give
-Debian the capability to mix and match between install sources, a
-flexibility you'll appreciate if you ever have to install without a CD.
-
-<P>Once you start the actual install, you'll see the Release Notes:
-
-<P><a href="09debian.png"><img src="09debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>You'll be asked to select your keyboard type (English, QWERTY, most
-likely):
-
-<P><a href="10debian.png"><img src="10debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>The first point where you'll have to provide more than default
-information will be with partitioning. You'll be presented with the option
-to partition a hard drive:
-
-<P><a href="11debian.png"><img src="11debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>What the heck is LILO? You'll wonder this at several points in the
-install; this is the first point where this question comes up. LILO is the
-"LInux LOader", the program that actually will be managing your computer's
-boot process after Linux installation is complete.  Boot loaders reside on
-a special sector on the hard drive known as the Master Boot Record. Your
-BIOS knows to pass control to whatever program is in the MBR when the BIOS
-has finished with its tasks. It is up to the MBR program to know where to
-find the boot code for the operating system on your hard drive.
-
-<P>We'll be replacing the Windows boot process with LILO. We do this
-because the Windows boot process only knows how to boot Windows. LILO, on
-the other hand, knows how to boot between any of several operating systems,
-including both Linux and Windows.
-
-<P>So when asked if we want to make Linux bootable from the hard drive, or
-when asked if we want to install LILO on the MBR, we'll always want to say
-yes.
-
-<P>Debian's install will take you from here into a program called cfdisk.
-cfdisk, like parted, is used for creating partitions. cfdisk's command line
-interface even looks somewhat like parted:
-
-<P><a href="13debian.png"><img src="13debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>You'll need to create two partitions. One of these will be a regular
-Linux partition, on which Debian will be installed. The other will be a
-swap partition. A swap partition simple means disk space to which
-information stored in RAM can be temporarily moved when the system needs to
-free up RAM. Think of it as using the hard drive as an emergency RAM
-supplement.
-
-<P>Create the swap partition first, and put it after the Windows partition
-on your disk. In cfdisk this means using the arrow keys to move the cursor
-down to the area marked free space, and then using the tab key to move
-through the commands at the bottom of the screen until you reach the "new"
-command. Then hit enter.
-
-<P>This will bring up a menu of file system types, where each entry on the
-menu has a name and hexadecimal number associated with it. You select a
-file system type by entering the appropriate hexadecimal number. Note that
-the menu is actually two screens long, and that you can get to the second
-screen by hitting the space bar.  Linux swap is on the second screen, and
-has number 82 associated with it:
-
-<P><a href="15debian.png"><img src="15debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>Asking two Linux gurus what size to make a swap partition is akin to
-asking a Red Sox and a Yankees fan what the best team in baseball is.
-Religious wars have started over less contentious topics. Our opinion, and
-we know that other views vary, is that your swap space should be twice the
-amount of RAM you have up to a maximum of 128 Megs of swap.  So if your
-computer has 128 Megs of RAM, make swap 128 Megs. If your computer has 32
-Megs of RAM, make swap 64 Megs. And so on.
-
-<P>Once you've added the swap partition, you'll need to again toggle down
-to the free space listing, and select new. Now you'll be creating a regular
-Linux partition (hex number 83) to fill the remainder of your hard drive.
-
-<P>Once you've created these new partitions, you need to explicitly write
-the partition table to your hard drive. Otherwise, these changes will not
-take effect. So write the partition table, and then exit cfdisk.
-
-<P>You'll be returned to the Debian install script. You'll be asked if you
-want to initialize a swap partition, and you should say yes.
-
-<P>You'll then be asked if you want to initialize a Linux partition.  You
-should say yes.  This means that you're going to create a directory on the
-file system where your Linux partition where be mounted, in other words a
-directory where information on that partition can be accessed. You'll want
-to make this the root directory: "/". You'll be asked about 2.0 file system
-compatibility.  The choice is not critical here, but unless you're
-upgrading an older Linux system, there's no reason to worry about
-maintaining older compatibility:
-
-<P><a href="19debian.png"><img src="19debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>When the install script initializes a partition, it will ask you if you
-want to perform a bad block scan. This is basically a physical check of the
-disk surface for areas that are damaged or otherwise unusable. There
-shouldn't be any, and a block scan will probably be the most time consuming
-step in the install process, especially on a large hard drive. You should
-do this scan anyway. Performing this one time at setup will enable Linux to
-write data only to safe areas of the disk in the future. It's a one-time
-hassle with a lot of benefit.
-
-<P>Notice that Debian generally presents you with a default choice for next
-step in the install process, and an alternate choice. We'll almost always
-be selecting the defaults. Once you've initialized your Linux partition,
-however, we want to select an alternative: mount a previously initialized
-partition.
-
-<P>Linux is capable of reading and writing information in the Windows VFAT
-file system format. This means that we can access information on the
-Windows partition of the hard drive even when we're running Linux. But to
-facilitate this capability, we'll need to initialize the Windows partition.
-
-<P>So select "mount a previously initialized partition" and create a
-directory name where your Windows partition will be accessed. A name like
-"/win98" or "/windows" will do just fine.
-
-<P>You'll now need to install the operating system kernel and modules.  For
-a great many systems you'll be able to simply select the defaults here.
-We're assuming a CD install:
-
-<P><a href="22debian.png"><img src="22debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>Configuring device driver modules will be necessary if you have a
-network card, a sound card, a printer, or other devices besides the base
-hardware of your system. For example, if you want printer support, you'll
-find the printer module under miscellaneous modules. You'd select
-miscellaneous, scroll down the module list until you see "lp", and select
-that module to be installed. You'll be prompted to enter parameters, but
-for most modules the parameters can be auto-detected, so no parameters need
-be entered. You should see an "installation succeeded" message, in which
-case you can return to the modules menu and install other modules as
-needed.
-
-<P>If you get an "installation failed" message you'll need to look up the
-<b>I/O memory address</b> and <b>IRQ settings</b> for that device in your
-system. This information should be on the checklist you prepared ahead of
-time. You might find, for example, that to get a particular ethernet card
-recognized you need to explicitly enter in something like:
-
-<P><tt> io=0x280 irq=7 </tt>
-
-<P>Configuring and tuning your kernel and modules, though, is an intricate
-process you'll probably want to investigate after you have your system up
-and running. It's beyond the scope of this article, but it is a topic we
-cover in depth elsewhere.  In fact, it was the subject of our Linux.com
-Live! event at Atlanta Linux Showcase this fall.
-
-<P>The install script next presents you with a simple menu to select the
-time zone in which you reside.
-
-<P>You'll next be asked whether you want to set your system clock to local
-time or Greenwich Meridian Time (GMT). Windows has difficulty understanding
-GMT, so on a dual boot machine you'll probably want to select local time.
-The exception to this would be on a laptop, where you'll have problems
-keeping the clock straight in suspend mode unless you use GMT.
-
-<P>The install script will then present you with some options about how to
-set up the boot configurations for your computer. We're assuming this will
-be a dual boot machine with LILO managing the boot process that will let
-you choose between booting Windows and Linux. Dual boot can be handled in
-other ways, but this is the most straightforward approach. So have LILO
-installed on the Master Boot Record for the hard drive, not just the boot
-sector for the partition.
-
-<P>You'll be asked whether or not you want to make a boot floppy disk. This
-is a good precaution, even though you'll normally be booting directly from
-the hard drive. In the event of problems -- we've seen Norton Antivirus
-treat LILO as a virus, for example -- you'll be able to boot the system and
-make corrections using the boot floppy.
-
-<P>The system will reboot at this point. Be sure to remove your Debian CD
-before reboot, or the install script will start over from the beginning.
-
-<P>Linux is a secure, multi-user operating system. This means that you must
-explicitly log on to the system to use it, and you must do so as a
-particular user (no, you cannot do the Windows trick of simply hitting the
-escape key when confronted with a user name/password logon prompt).
-Different users on a Linux system have different privileges. One user, the
-"root" user, has all privileges, while end users have more restricted
-capabilities. End user accounts are typically set up to enable users to run
-programs, view and edit files, but to deny users the ability to modify
-system configurations or install new programs that would have system wide
-impact.
-
-<P>This stage of the installation script will take you through the basics
-of setting up users and password security. At a minimum you must create the
-root user. We strongly advise that you log in as root only when you have
-system maintenance to perform. You should create an ordinary end user
-account that you will use for your daily activity. Not only will this make
-your system more secure, but it will spare you the flames and taunting of
-more experienced Linux users who cringe every time they see "root@" in an
-email header or IRC host.
-
-<P>Originally Unix passwords were stored encrypted in a plain text file
-readable by anyone (this is /etc/passwd on your system). Today Linux relies
-on further levels of encryption to ensure password security. You'll be
-prompted about two possible such systems to use. MD5 is one:
-
-<P><a href="30debian.png"><img src="30debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>Shadow passwords is the other:
-
-<P><a href="31debian.png"><img src="31debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>Our personal preference is to use shadow passwords and not MD5, but
-opinions on this matter vary widely. The main point is that you should
-install at least one of these two.
-
-<P>You'll next be asked to choose a password for the root user:
-
-<P><a href="32debian.png"><img src="32debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>The screen will not display what you type, but you will be prompted to
-retype it in order to verify that you typed what you think you did.
-
-<P>Proper password selection is another of those topics that can inspire
-debates of near religious fanaticism among Linux users. Bear in mind that
-most PCs today are easily capable of grinding through every word in the
-dictionary, or even a combination of two or three words, in an automated
-process of password guessing. Chain together several PCs working on a
-security exploit, or a more powerful computer, and devising an unguessable
-password becomes a serious challenge.
-
-<P>There are some simple guidelines to follow. Unlike some passwords, Linux
-passwords are case sensitive. Use this to your advantage, and include a mix
-of upper and lower case characters. You can -- and should -- also include
-numbers and punctuation. The result should be something that does not
-contain any English language words, but should also be something you can
-easily remember, and that someone who knows you could not readily guess.
-
-<P>Here are a couple of examples:
-
-<UL>
-  <LI>If you had a dog named "Rascal" who lived to be 12 years old, you
-  might combine the name and age, substituting "@" for the letter "a", and
-  modifying the capitalization, to get something like "r@sc@L12" as a
-  password.
-  <LI>If you met your wife on a vacation in Paris in 1996, you might join
-  "Paris" and "96" with a smiley, only spelling Paris backwards, to get
-  something like this: "siraP:)96"
-</ul>
-
-<P>You'll next be prompted to create an ordinary user account:
-
-<P><a href="33debian.png"><img src="33debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>We strongly recommend that you do this. You should use the same security
-guidelines in selecting a user password as you do in selecting a root
-password, and do not make them the same password.
-
-<P>You'll next be prompted about the need for PCMCIA modules:
-
-<P><a href="34debian.png"><img src="34debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>You'll need this only if you're doing a laptop install <i>and</i> your
-CDROM drive is attached to the laptop via a PCMCIA card.
-
-<h3>Selecting and Installing Packages</h3>
-
-<P>An operating system is nothing without applications to run on top of it.
-Debian applications are stored in packages that contain information
-necessary for the Debian package management system, dpkg, to keep track of
-all the packages and package dependencies on your system.
-
-<P>The front end to dpkg is a program called apt. Apt needs to know a
-little about what you want to install, and from where. So you'll be asked
-to select the install source for apt:
-
-<P><a href="35debian.png"><img src="35debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>Apt is a vital part of any Debian system, and a device you'll grow to
-appreciate as your system evolves. You'll note that one of the options for
-apt configuration is http. This will enable you to point apt at the Debian
-website, and, assuming you're connected to the Internet at the time,
-install or update a package simply by issuing the "apt-get install" or
-"apt-get upgrade" command. The rest of the process should, and usually
-does, work seamlessly in the background.
-
-<P>For now, however, you'll want to direct apt at your CDROM drive as the
-source for packages.  Once we've completed installation and made a couple
-of modifications at the end, you can reconfigure apt to point to a Debian
-website mirror, giving you an easy online method for upgrading and
-modifying your system.
-
-<P>You'll next be asked to choose between simple and advanced
-configurations:
-
-<P><a href="36debian.png"><img src="36debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>Especially if you are new to Linux, but even if you are new to just
-Debian, you really want to pick "simple". The simple installation means
-you'll be doing somewhat more work with apt after installation to add
-additional packages or remove some unwanted ones, but this is a relatively
-minor amount of additional overhead. The "advanced" install will take you
-directly to Debian's older install method, dselect.  Unless you enjoy
-scanning through several thousand package descriptions using an obtuse text
-based interface, we recommend you avoid dselect.
-
-<P>The simple install takes you to a menu that lets you select groups of
-related packages to install:
-
-<P><a href="37debian.png"><img src="37debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>You can get an exact listing of the packages selected by moving the
-cursor to a package group and entering "i". This brings up an informational
-screen with a more detailed description of the group, and a listing of each
-package in the group.
-
-<P>We recommend selecting any package associated with Gnome, and any
-package associated with the X Window System. This will give you an
-easy-to-use graphical workstation with great Internet capabilities, which
-is exactly what most users are looking for.
-
-<P>Traditionally one of the most challenging parts of Linux installation
-has been the X Window System, usually referred to simply as X. X is what
-frees you from the command line and gives you a modern graphical interface
-in which to work. Getting X to function properly, however, requires proper
-configuration to coordinate your video card with your monitor.
-
-<P>These days X configuration is a greatly simplified task. Indeed, if you
-have a graphics card well supported by Linux, and a well-documented
-monitor, then Debian's configuration tool, anXious, should be able to walk
-you through the process with no trouble:
-
-<P><a href="38debian.png"><img src="38debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>With a 17" or greater monitor, and a recent video card, you should be
-able to achieve very high resolutions (perhaps 1600 x 1200 pixels) and true
-color depth (32 bits per pixel, or bpp). Don't be disappointed if you can't
-tune your system to this level of performance initially, however. You'll
-get a usable amount of screen real estate and high quality screen color if
-you can get 1024 x 768 pixels, and 16 bpp.
-
-<P>X configuration is a subtle and complex topic, one worthy of an article
-in its own right. We'll be bringing you that article soon. Here we'll walk
-you through the steps involved if you know what video card and monitor you
-have, you know the settings for your monitor, and both are well-supported
-under Linux.
-
-<P>AnXious will probe for your video card, and report what it finds. It
-will then ask you to install fonts. Unless you're short on disk space,
-install both 75dpi and 100dpi fonts. You'll be asked about a terminal
-emulator. The default choice of xterm should be fine, and in fact you won't
-need a terminal program for the balance of this installation.
-
-<P>By itself, X does very little other than provide the capability to
-render graphics on screen. The actual drawing of windows, menus, and icons,
-and the management of those graphical objects, is done by a program called
-a window manager. A simple but popular choice is Window Maker, indicated on
-the install script here by wmaker. We'll assume you've made that selection
-later in this article.
-
-<P>Many Linux users boot their systems directly to the command line
-interface, and go to X only as needed. This may be a bit of a shock for
-Windows users used to a full time graphical environment. We recommend,
-therefore, that you install xdm, the X Display Manager, which will start X
-automatically for you and bring you to a graphical logon prompt when you
-start the system.
-
-<P>You'll next be prompted for mouse type. The most common type today is
-PS/2, and unless you know otherwise, that's probably what you should enter.
-If your mouse has only two buttons, you can opt for three button emulation.
-This will make holding both buttons down simultaneously emulate the effects
-of clicking on a third button.
-
-<P>If you've selected PS/2 as your mouse type, then the Linux device for
-that will be /dev/psaux. You should enter this information when prompted.
-
-<P>Probably you have a standard US keyboard, and should enter that
-selection accordingly.
-
-<P>You're next going to be prompted for several pieces of information about
-your monitor and video card. Be sure you have that documentation handy, and
-enter accordingly. For vertical and horizontal synch ranges, pick the range
-that most closely fits your specs, or select "custom" and enter the exact
-range from your monitor documentation. Enter in the appropriate memory
-value for your card. You're unlikely to need a clockchip setting with
-today's video cards, so enter "none" at this prompt, and at the next prompt
-do not probe for clock settings.
-
-<P>You should try to set the default color depth to 32 bpp, as this will
-give you "true color" (to use the Windows term) graphics. You'll want a
-default resolution of at least 1024x768, and should probably pick a higher
-resolution. Note that if your computer can't actually support the color
-depth and resolution you select, it will opt out to the highest supported
-settings it can find.  So a bit of guesswork here won't do you any harm.
-Just make sure that 1024x768, 800x600, and 640x480 are selected as
-"supported resolutions".
-
-<P>You'll next be prompted to create the X configuration file. If all has
-gone well, X should be successfully configured and ready to install at this
-point, with Window Maker set up as your default window manager.
-
-<P>At this point the install script has all the information it needs to
-begin setting up your system. There are a couple of package specific
-configuration questions you'll be asked, but at this stage your computer
-will begin churning away at package installation:
-
-<P><a href="39debian.png"><img src="39debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>This process will take anywhere from ten minutes to an hour or more,
-depending on the speed of your processor, amount of RAM, and available swap
-space. A machine of recent Pentium vintage with at least 64 Megs of RAM
-should be able to complete this stage in less than half an hour.
-
-<P>You'll be prompted to answer a few questions along the way, and the only
-series of questions that requires anything other than the default answer is
-mail configuration. Debian uses a program called exim as its default mail
-handler. To understand the significance of these questions, you'll need to
-understand a little about how email works.
-
-<P>Email requires three separate functions: it must be <b>transferred</b>
-from the system of origin to the destination; it must be <b>distributed</b>
-on the destination system to the correct user; and it must be <b>viewed</b>
-by an email client. Some programs perform more than one of these functions.
-Netscape, for example, can be not only an email client, but also used to
-retrieve mail from a server, meaning it can do some of the transfer and
-distribution work. Linux has several programs, like Fetchmail and
-Popclient, that can also be used to retrieve mail, and numerous email
-clients, like Elm, Pine, and Mutt.  Most clients (Pine is the exception)
-need to know of a mail server when sending mail that they can hand mail off
-to for transfer. Typically your ISP has such a server and provides you
-information about using it when you sign up for your dial-up account.
-
-<P>Exim is a mail transfer agent. It knows how to transfer mail to, and
-receive mail from, another mail server. It also knows how to distribute
-mail to users on a system. While exim isn't strictly necessary on a Debian
-machine connected to the Internet by dial-up, it nonetheless makes a useful
-backup for an ISP's shortcomings, and it helps when other programs you
-might install assume you have a functioning mail transfer agent installed.
-So setting up exim isn't absolutely required, but it is a very good idea.
-
-<P>You'll be presented with five general choices for exim configuration.
-Note that option 2 says "this is probably what you want for a dialup
-machine." Select this option.
-
-<P>For visible mail name, other names, relaying, IPv6 support, and RBL
-support you can simply choose the defaults.
-
-<P>You'll be prompted for a smart host. This is your ISP's mail server. If
-your ISP is "foo", this will probably be something like smtp.foo.com, or
-mail.foo.com.
-
-<P>For postmaster-mail enter "none". This is not an ideal choice, but until
-you're more familiar with Debian it will spare you from having your mailbox
-filled with arcane system mail.
-
-<P>You'll be asked to confirm the choices you've made. That's it. The rest
-of package installation should proceed without a hitch until you're
-prompted about X servers. Say "no" to the vga server as the default, and
-"yes" to the svga server as the default.
-
-<P>When you see the message "Press enter to continue" you've completed
-package installation.
-
-
-<h3>Configuring the System</h3>
-
-<P>What do you do now?
-
-<P>Relax. You've now completed your installation of Debian. You have a
-fully functioning version of Debian GNU/Linux on your computer. Of course
-you have a little configuring left to do, to make the system do the things
-you want. Specifically, we're assuming that this is a dual boot system to
-be connected to the Internet by dial-up.  So we'll need to configure the
-boot process to recognize Windows and give you a choice of boot options.
-And we'll need to set up and configure a dial-up program so you can connect
-to your ISP. The latter will also give us a look at how package
-installation and upgrade works.
-
-<P>What you're being presented with is a login prompt. Normally you'd log
-in as an ordinary user to do routine tasks. Right now, however, we want to
-perform system maintenance, so you should log in with user name "root" and
-the root password you selected during installation.
-
-<P>System configuration in Linux is accomplished using plain text files.
-Most of these files reside in the /etc directory. Tinkering with
-configuration is a matter of editing these files, which means you'll have
-to familiarize yourself with a text editor. For experienced Linux users,
-this usually means settling on one of the venerable workhorse editing
-programs, either emacs or vi. Experienced Linux users also get comfortable
-using a terminal window and working from the command line. A terminal
-window, such as xterm, eterm, or gnome-terminal, opens up a window to the
-command line interface within X's graphical environment.  Think of it as
-like opening up a DOS shell in Windows.
-
-<P>Beginners, however, may want something a little simpler. In fact you can
-accomplish all the basic system management tasks you're likely to need to
-do with just three very familiar-looking tools: GMC, Gnome-run, and
-Gnotepad.
-
-<P>Most Windows users are familiar with point and click graphical editors,
-and Linux has these too. If you've followed all the install steps up to
-this point, you should have the Gnotepad editor installed; it will present
-an interface very much like Windows Wordpad or Notepad.
-
-<P>Most Windows users are also familiar with the "run" box off of the
-Windows "Start" menu. This opens up a dialog box that lets you run a single
-Windows command. Gnome-run provides this same capability within X.
-
-<P>Finally, most Windows users are familiar with Windows Explorer as a
-simple point-and-click file navigation program. GMC provides this same
-style of interface as a file manager within X.
-
-<P>Available programs under X can be accessed from a menu, just as in
-Windows. Instead of anchoring that menu to a "start" button, however,
-you'll access the menu by pointing the cursor at the desktop and clicking
-once with the right mouse button.
-
-<P>Under Apps -&gt; Tools you'll find GMC. Under XShells you'll find
-gnome-run. Once GMC is running, you can edit a file by putting the cursor
-over the icon for that file, clicking once on the right mouse button,
-selecting "open with" from the resulting menu, and then selecting gnotepad
-from the application list.
-
-<P>To set up your system for dual boot, run GMC. Select the folder marked
-"etc" and find the file icon for a file called "lilo.conf" in the right
-hand window of GMC:
-
-<P><a href="63debian.png"><img src="63debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>Right click on this icon, and select "copy" from the menu. This should
-bring up a dialog box with "/etc" in it. Append this to read
-"/etc/lilo.old", and click OK.
-
-<P>You've now made a backup copy of lilo.conf, the configuration file that
-LILO uses to determine how to boot your system. This is an important step.
-We're about to modify that file, and should anything go wrong, you can
-restore the original version from backup.
-
-<P>Now once again find the lilo.conf icon and right click on it.  This time
-select "open with" and select Gnotepad from the application list.  This
-will open up lilo.conf for editing in Gnotepad:
-
-<P><a href="65debian.png"><img src="65debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>What we have to do is actually quite simple. We need to instruct LILO to
-prompt us for a choice of operating systems, and we need to add a system
-entry for Windows. The first part we accomplish by adding a line that
-simply says "prompt" at the top of the lilo.conf file.
-
-<P>You'll note a line that says "default=linux". This means that the Linux
-boot sequence has been labelled Linux, and is the default if no other
-action is taken when LILO starts up. We need to label an alternative for
-Windows, and tell LILO where to find Windows on your hard drive. We can do
-that with two lines. Assuming you have an IDE hard drive, the two lines
-would be:
-
-<pre>
-other=/dev/hda1
-  label=win
-</pre>
-
-<P>This setup means that when LILO initiates the boot process it will give
-you a prompt like this "LILO:". It will then wait for you to type in either
-"linux" or "win" and will boot either Linux or Windows accordingly.
-
-<P>Once you've made these additions to lilo.conf you should save these
-changes and exit Gnotepad. You now have one more vital step to take.
-
-<P>Changing lilo.conf is all very well and good, but you must also alert
-LILO that its configuration file has changed. You can do this by opening up
-gnome-run, typing "lilo" into the dialog box, and then selecting run.
-Unless you have a perverse desire to learn about Linux rescue disks, you
-must run lilo to update changes every time you make a change to lilo.conf:
-
-<P><a href="66debian.png"><img src="66debian-mini.jpg"></a>
-
-<P>You now have a dual boot system set up.
-
-<h3>A Brief Glimpse at Debian Upgrading</h3>
-
-<P>Linux offers an abundance of dial-up programs. One of the most robust
-and easiest to use is a program called wvdial. If you've followed all our
-steps so far, wvdial is not yet installed on your system. You're just a
-couple of short steps away from having it installed and configured, and
-having an Internet-ready Debian system.
-
-<P>Put your Debian CD in the CDROM drive. Then open gnome-run, and enter
-"apt-get install wvdial". Open gnome-run again, and enter "wvdialconf".
-You've now installed wvdial, and set up a basic configuration file for it.
-
-<P>You'll need to adjust the base configuration file. In GMC, find the file
-/etc/wvdial.conf. Open this file with Gnotepad. You'll see that it has
-lines for phone number, user name, and password. You'll need to enter in
-your ISP's dial-up number here, the user name your ISP has assigned you,
-and the password your ISP has assigned you. Then save the file and exit.
-
-<P>You should now be able to connect to your ISP simply by opening
-gnome-run and typing in "wvdial".
-
-<P>Right now your Debian system is set up to recognize the Debian CD as its
-source for installation and upgrade. For the time being, as you learn your
-way around Debian, that's probably fine. If you discover a new package you
-want to install, just pop in the CD and run "apt-get install" followed by
-the package name.
-
-<P>At some point, though, you'll want to start upgrading to more recent
-versions than the CD provides. This means grabbing updates off the Debian
-website. First, you need to get apt to recognize the Debian website as its
-source.
-
-<P>In GMC, find the file /etc/apt/sources.list and open it with Gnotepad.
-You'll notice a number of lines in this file that begin with "#". This is
-the conventional symbol in Linux for a comment statement, in other words a
-statement that is human-readable but machine-ignored. If you live in the
-U.S., you'll want to remove the "#" from the beginning of this line:
-
-<P><tt> #deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian stable main contrib non-free </tt>
-
-<P>If you live outside the U.S. you'll want to remove the "#" from the
-beginning of this line:
-
-<P><tt> #deb http://non-us.debian.org/debian-non-US stable/non-US main contrib non-free </tt>
-
-<P>In either case you may now add a "#" to the beginning of the line that
-begins "deb cdrom".
-
-<P>Now to install packages, you'll need to be connected to the Internet.
-Otherwise, the procedure is the same: run "apt-get install [package]".
-
-<P>To upgrade packages, you'll need to do a couple of things. Periodically,
-you'll want to run the command "apt-get update". This will update your
-system database about what the current versions of packages are. You can
-then upgrade a package whenever you're connected to the Internet by simply
-running "apt-get upgrade [package]".
-
-<P>Congratulations. You've successfully entered the community of Debian
-users.  It's a rich and complex world, but it has much to offer, and you
-now have the tools to safely explore it on your own.
