How did others do it. I read in Debian Forum that a german installed gNS on the Yeeloong. This was in 31st of July in 2010 [1] And on the gNS Forum some of you said to the Yeeloong Notebook confirmed, some even with confirmed by default. So I thought it would be easy to use gNS on this Notebook.
The installer worked in the past. The work on the package repository for the next release broke it, so it's for a good cause. :)
Here some fun, God (as I understand) I'm so glad for humor. The debootstrap method descripes that I should partion some space of the disk. OK this is what I tried to do with the GNU Linux ditribution wich is installed by default on the Notebook. I got I failure message but I didn't know what it meant. OK, I wanted to undo it. But it didn't work to undo. Then I wanted to update this distribution with, as I learned in gNS, apt-get update ... I got another message but didn't know what to do. I did anything. It was wrong. So it broke. Yes, the distribution didn't boot anymore. I thought to restore it. It worked but then I had a full colored (very nice and beautyfull), and absolutly chinese distribution. The only this I could do was to shut down by the power button. Hope you can laugh with me, because I realy do. OK actually I try to install Debian Wheezy third time, because it crashed two times. I never had more ? in my head than this days and I'm thankful for serenity. Thanks for all of you for laughing with me and for having serenity with me.
If you're stuck in graphical interface in a language that you don't understand, there's a good chance that you're still able to use the console in English. Pressing Ctrl+Alt+F1 brings you to a console (you can switch back with Ctrl+Alt+F7 or Ctrl+Alt+F8). After logging in you can run commands with "LC_ALL=C" prepended and output should be in English, e.g.
$ LC_ALL=C sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-dataP.S.: I don't know how correct this information [1] is, but it explains something about quoting in Yahoo Mail. Please read it.
