debian etch CD installation issues and installing gcc and development tools

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi, I reinstalled etch using the speakup installation CD from 
people.debian.org/~shane and had some odd issues with it.  I ran 
speakup-expert to try to install testing instead of stable after I booted 
into speakup-expert and changed debconf to low priority.  I was never 
prompted to choose the version to install.  Another odd thing happend the 
debian installation tried to remove the kernel I had selected with speakup 
during installation of the base system.  I told it NO! and then everything 
worked fine.  I then had to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to install testing 
after installing the base system and selecting a debian mirror.  I installed 
everything else using tasksel and found that none of the development tools 
like gcc are installed any more.  If I try to install just gcc it wants me 
to install other libs in the subgested packages and other things.  I would 
like all of this installed as was the case with sarge.  Has anyone else had 
these problems and if I ever need to reinstall is there a way to fix them? 
One thing that shane should put on the people.debian.org/~shane site is an 
sources.list file with the people.debian.org/~shane stuff in it so users can 
download and murge it with their own so they can just use apt to install and 
upgrade speakup kernels.
