Re (4): Installing lilo in Squeeze after booting from the Lenny installer CD.
Stephen, I think you might have been somewhat confused by my suggestions. I actually gave two completely different alternative recovery scenarios. Yes. I'd missed Alternative number 1 and followed 2 approximately. I used the ncurses interface whereas you refer to the CLUI. If you can't find an ins... 5 Feb 2010 12:49

grub2 + serial redirect
Hello, So after 12+ years of using lilo on my server, I've decided that it might be time to upgrade my boot loader. With lilo I'm using the standard serial redirect since I'm running a headless box (more specifically it's a guest of a VirtualBox host). With Grub2, I've been able to get the standard serial redire... 6 Feb 2010 10:45

LVM snapshots are not backups (was: Re: Virtualization - what do You recommend?)
I believe the point of the LVM Snapshot is to make an unchanging version of your LV that can be backed up without risk of changes occurring to the volume during the backup process. You still have to do the actual backup as usual. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-REQUEST(a)lists.debian.org with a subje... 4 Feb 2010 11:07

Kerneloops on clean install
Hi, I'm reinstalling a system that has been running debian for at least 2 years. Installation goes fine, but while doing an upgrade to squeeze it gives me kerneloops (see attached document). I seriously doubt this is a software problem. The system occasionally freezes and kernel panics occur. Any idea wher... 4 Feb 2010 09:59

How to install debian via network without mirror from internet, only from file DVD1....
So... you have no internet connection and you have a "mirror" in your local network which only has dvd1.iso? And you want to boot with PXE. Er... you can loop mount that image and add a "cd-deb" tag - or similar - to your sources.list. For PXE to work you'd probably need the netinst.iso, or to extract the necessa... 4 Feb 2010 02:17
