I am trying to setup my new hardware, and it refuses to install Debian
Linux (Base System Downloaded Today off the Internet).

The problem which occurs is simple :-

When initialising the partitions the partition gets almost initialised
(i.e. almost completed just need to write a little bit of extra info
to the drive to complete the partition init), and then the System
stops responding.

My Hardware is as follows :-
Intel Pentium 166 Overdrive Processor,
PC-Chips M571 Motherboard (featuring the Intel TX-Pro II Chipset, with
onboard VGA, and Soundcard),
Adaptec 1542CF SCSI Controller Card,
Twin Quantum Empire 1080S HDD's.

No Other Hardware is in my machine at present (nope, not even a floppy
Drive).

If anyone would be able to provide me with an answer to my problem it
would be much appreciated.  DOS has me peeved already and I've only
been forced to use it again for the last day or two...

Thanx in Advance,
	Peter Ludwig
