Installing Debian
So, I decided to get rid of Slackware on my laptop in favor of Debian, and so far it hasn’t been so great. I wanted to get rid of Slackware because I thought it was too hard to deal with (and I probably screwed up the installation to some extent, it was my first go-round) and I wanted to get some actual use out of my laptop.
Problem so far is that I can’t get Debian to want to install. First it hung on trying to set up sendmail, and then after each boot it stopped when loading boottime.kmap.gz. So it’s time for a format and a reinstallation that I don’t touch too much this time.
Update: So much for that, it froze again during installation. Why bother?
