Libranet 2.7 and why I'm now on Mdk 9.2b2

[JeroenM]

Hi,

being tired of re-installing Mdk every half a year I've just kept my installs (a Mdk 8.2, an 8.1 and a 9.0) recently and not upgraded anymore.

Since I now couldn't install OOo on the oldest one I deceided to try the apt-get distro: Debian, for it's easy easy dist-upgrade.

Being a sissy I ended up with the DL version of Libranet.

Install 1: problems with disk partitioning

Solution 1: install Mdk 9.2b2 and partition there.

Try 2: yeay, it works. not. doesn't boot.

Try 3: try again but make boot floppy. boots from floppy. doesn't recognise LAN-card.

Solution 2: install Mdk 9.2b2 and look for info on card. doesn't work either but makes me remember I can suggest some numbers.

Solution 3: grab other PC (the oldie) and google.

Try 4: try to figure out how to give the numbers to Libranet. break my azerty-keyboard in the meantime.

Try 5: re-install to look at the keyboard issue. seems like Xadminmenu breaks it. it works during install. google for the settings. all correct. search libranet forum. nope.

Solution 4: Install Mdk 9.2b2 for the 3rd or 4th time and just keep it.

now I'm trying to update it untill 9.2 final arrives and then I'll switch to security updates again.
