null Posted January 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 ok thanks. I already came to the conclusion that a re-install of debian would be the easiest. And letting the installer have the entire disk this time. I was just asking before about resizing stuff, wasn't sure about the hassle-factor of doing it. Since I'm intending to wipe out mandriva's /home anyway, might as well just reinstall debian and let it have the whole disk. I'm looking forward to having a "rolling distro" for the first time.

arctic Posted January 20, 2007 Report Share Posted January 20, 2007 Don't forget to install the kbd and mouse modules when you reinstall. ;) Good luck. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 all finished with the reinstall. I did everything about the same as before, except this time I let it take the entire disk. It seems to have went through without any issues. This time X worked right away, no need for installing kb & mouse modules. They must have corrected that since the first install. After it was all done, I used apt to install some stuff: firefox (got iceweasel instead), thunderbird (got icedove), and the entire bloated kde, which took forever. But everything is working fine. When I have any post-install questions, I'll start a new "post-install" thread. here's what df shows this time: Filesystem 1K-blocks Used Available Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 264445 155279 95513 62% / tmpfs 258528 0 258528 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10240 68 10172 1% /dev tmpfs 258528 0 258528 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda9 182447916 221208 172958812 1% /home /dev/hda8 381138 10314 351146 3% /tmp /dev/hda5 4806904 2215924 2346796 49% /usr /dev/hda6 2885780 1013248 1725944 37% /var Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arctic Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Let me know if you need help with other things, like firewalls and the like. And have fun with your new, shiny distro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
