Take 1: VMware and DVD ISO images
After downloading the 3 DVD’s that make up a full install of
Debian, I created a new virtual machine with a 60GB hard drive. The virtual machine was given the .ISO file
of the 1st DVD, and booted.
Installation went well, until the 2nd DVD was
requested. I changed the .ISO file the
virtual machine had mounted, but for some reason this was not detected. As a result, I suspect the install was
incomplete. This suspicion was
compounded when functions like sudo
failed to work.
Through manual fiddling, I got this to work eventually, but
who knows what else is wrong? As a result of this, I plan to re-image the
virtual machine, using a LiveCD.
