Debian Etch installation

Here we will show step by step installation of Debian Etch system for MOR.

It will contain only necessary packages.

Installation CD image can be downloaded from: http://www.debian.org/CD/netinst/

As and example for i386 platform we use: http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/4.0_r2/i386/iso-cd/debian-40r2-i386-businesscard.iso

If your hardware is very new - possible that Etch will not understand some components - SCSI HDD, network card or similar.

Then download Debian Lenny(testing) from: http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/, example: http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/lenny_di_beta1/i386/iso-cd/debian-testing-i386-businesscard.iso

It is very small - about 32 Mb. Download it, burn to CD and start installation from it.

Following screens will appear during installation.

Please follow our comments between images.

Press Enter in this screen

Choose English language

From now on - you should decide how you want to partition your HDD. In our examples it is the simplest method. If you know what you are doing - make your adjustements.

For example we use VMWare. You should select your HDD on which you want to install Debian.

Select your timezone

IMPORTANT! Deselect everything before continuing!

After reboot you will be able to login to your newly installed system.

Enter 'root' and your password to login.

Then type command:

apt-get -y install ssh

You can also edit /etc/network/interfaces to change IP of the server.

After all these steps your system is ready for MOR PRO installation.
