Editors note: You can get the newer installer (with automatic hardware detection, etc) from the Debian Installer site. This should make installations a bit easier. - Jeff
Assumptions.
- 1. You have debian 3.0. R1 Woody on a CD
- 2. Your hardware works and NIC card etc ( or vmware )
- 3. Highspeed internet connection
- 4. use defaults unless noted
- 5. Ip address is 192.168.0.110
- 6 This setup is insecure as no ssl is set and should not be used on a box not sitting behind a firewall.AND NEVER FOR PRODUCTION
- all commands are shown as
so type what is after the big dot
- end means umm err the end of the command above
If you see
- zzz_*whatever_command its would mean the command is everyhting after zzz_. This is because wiki uses * to start with the big dot.
Yeah it's kinda arcane but thats wiki for you , seems silly to learn a another language just to stuff info on the net ... but I am just a grump about wiki *rant off
so in this case type cd /etc/apt OK lets get started
-
- note to self maybe long winded install stuff here
Boot up pc with cdrom
standard install after reboot
- apt-get install ssh
- apt-get install wget
- apt-get install ftp
- apt-get install lynx
yes all questions to death by taking the defaults
You have options you can stay with the cdrom for a while or get stuff from the Internet.. I found the Internet to be better as you get the latest packages (kind sorta)..If you are on dialup then stay with the cdrom..
Now would be a good time to telnet in and save some typing.. Putty is a great windoze client..
- cd /etc/apt
- nano sources.list.
- end then paste /type the above remove the cd info and leave the security stuff..
- cntrl o
then hit enter
note not zero o as in oh my
now do a
if you get errors you stuffed up the above or you internet is down, etc now do a
go make coffee it will take a while .. yes all questions to death by taking the defaults
- apt-get install perl
- cd /usr/local/src
then we will use wget to download the file for webmin
- wget http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/webadmin/webmin-1.140.tar.gz
note because of the size of this wiki the command is wrapped. So its a good idea to copy the whole command in notepad /nano so you paste the complete command and don't end up with some extra garbage.. Also this is a good way to keep track of what you have done..
- gzip -dc webmin-1.140.tar.gz |tar -x
- cd webmin-1.140
- ./setup.sh /usr/local/webmin
yes it to death HOWEVER set the login to root and the passord the same as root. This will make life easier later on..

- NOTE DO NOT INSTALL WEWBMIN"S SSL STUFF the Instructions are vague and clunky on the website..
follow the instuctions Now you should see this http://163.26.135.4/linux73/images/webmin/webmin-1.png
except the address should be 192.168.0.110 or whatever you made it if brain_dead by now
will remind you what the IP addy is..
Browse to 192.168.0.110:1000 and webmin should launch. I am not going to describe webmin as it's pretty simple..
- NEXT Lets install FreeMED
