[Herts] Debian Install Amusements..

[Nicolas Pike]

Hi,

Turns out, the disk has some existing partitions. I removed these and the
install went through ok. Which is great news! I now have the prompt and can
see the net.  Next task is to read more about apt-get so I can get (Please
don't laugh!!) Webmin running!! The target is to build a server with..
Webmin, Postfix (Maildir), Courier, Apache (2.0?) Squirrel mail, proftp, ssh
etc. As per my current RH 9.0 Blade.
Any other hints etc greatly appreciated!! Thanks for you help so far

Thanks
Regards

Insufficient information for a meaningful answer.

You may find you have sufficient stuff loaded to continue installing with
apt-get anyway?

Rick Moen of the Linuxgazette Answergang (tag at linuxgazette.net) is pretty
good
with Debian problems. Have you tried Knoppix?

Whereabouts are you. I might be able to drop in and see if I can see
anything
you've missed.
