no no its worse then that!
It actually wont instaill its usual self!
For example when I was installing debian
before it gave me the option to install lilo
and what sort of lilo etc. But now it wont give me
that option or an option to make a back-up CD.
So once its installed I cannot boot into it!!
--- End quote ---
are you installing from a CD?

Kan:
aha why is there so many bobs?


Well anyway Yes I am installing it off the CD.
And for some reason its totally different from
last time I tryed to install it. Most importly
no Lilo so I had no way of booting back into debian
once I so called installed it (which im not sure
if it actually installed).
I downloaded the .iso off the net and put it onto
CD. The one a guy gave me (which wouldnt install
packages) was totally differenct in the install process. Do you have any idea whats going on?

Master of Reality:
did you dl the .iso from the debian website or one of its mirror sites?
Cant you boot off the CD, then get a "Boot:" prompt then type "rescue root=/dev/hd*" like i mentioned above which will boot debian even if you dont have lilo or anything. or.... you could just try installing it again or getting the newest version and installing it.

Kan:
Yeah Ill try that this weekend, I found myself
a good site aswell
