Installing a new Debian system

Installing a new Debian system

Goals

Boot-CD

Partitioning the harddisk

DELETE YOUR HARDDISK while installing at the point where you have to partition your harddisk! Debian-bootdisks seem to like that. I had a lot of trouble when trying to install in already formatted filesystems. A lot of options haven't been shown.

We decided that we want to backup our system with Ghost. But you have to have a small system-area for that. The biiiig part of the data itself is in a separate /data-partion.

Device

Filesystem type

Primary/Logical

Mountpoint

Size

/dev/hda1

linux = 83

primary partition,
bootable

/boot

30 MBytes

/dev/hda2

linux = 83

primary partition

/

10.000 MBytes

/dev/hda3

swap = 82

logical

swap = no mount

1.000 MBytes

The data partition will be created later when the system is running, attention before 2.4.20 the kernel seems not to recognize larger harddisks than 137 GBytes

/dev/hda4

linux

logical

/data

Rest of disk

After partitioning do a reboot!

 What to install immediately after having the basesystem

Configure TCP/IP fixed address, maybe more than one address

vim /etc/network/interfaces:

# /etc/init.d/networking stop
# /etc/init.d/networking start
# vim /etc/resolv.conf
