Install from Packages

[dmorris]

I know some people are having issues with hardware support on the knoppix based installer.

Installing from source is not a good workaround for this, but installing from packages may be. There is a new rough howto on how to install on debian sarge from packages:

Its a bit rough right now, but will be much easier in Thunderbird (5.1) and on something newer than sarge.

edit: this is for people who are developers or are very familiar with debian.

While I haven't had any hardware problems with the current release, I'm wanting to try this to make an attempt at creating an Active/Passive Cluster with this install method. Just have to find time to try it.

Some problem from
"cat >> /etc/apt/sources.list << EOF
deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian sarge main contribu non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ sarge/updates main contrib
deb http://user:user@updates.untangle.com/untangle stable main upstream
EOF"

can't apt-get update from "deb http://user:user@updates.untangle.com/untangle stable main upstream" , can I fix it ?

I was about to point you to this thread on your post in the General Forum.

I noticed that you were wanting to install on Ubuntu on your other post... did it fail with Ubuntu or are you trying this with Debian Sarge?

I've tried installing V5.03 on an ASUS M2NS. It will run a live CD, Cent OS, Ubuntu and another custom distro.

I think it's the via chipset... I should have asked first. I've tested the same version on other Asus boxes with no problems.

I agree about the Via chipset. I spent 2 days trying to install Untangle onto an Asus M2N-MX. It wasn't detecting even the most popular NIC cards. As soon as I moved to a better motherboard, all is working.

Just going through this again and go to
apt-get install untangle-linux-image-2.6.16-ck11-untangle-cd-486 untangle-linux-2.6.16-ck11-config

Shouldn't it be 5.03?

Setting up untangle-linux-2.6.16-ck11-config (5.0.1-1) ...

Also, if the problem you're having is related not directly to the installer, but the installed Kernel not supporting your SCSI/SATA chipset, this will NOT help.....

.... since the directions call for replacing your (working) kernel with the same one that is on the CD.....

So if you can install just fine, but then when you go to boot it just boots, then reboots, then reboots, then reboots......

save your time, this won't help.
