Ubuntu 7.10 setup.sh problems

Hello all,

I've read on this page:
http://www.directadmin.com/install.html
Debian Sarge/Woody 3.1/Etch 4.0/Ubuntu (these are all variants of debian)
that ubuntu is supported.

I think that is not correct based on the stuff i've experienced while installing.

First of all, setup.sh completely doesnt work on a clean system.
For the install to work you need to edit the following file:

/etc/debian_version

This file contains default: lenny/sid
which is the code name for ubuntu.

setup.sh uses this file for the packages on:
http://files.directadmin.com/services/
which will result in:

http://files.directadmin.com/services/lenny/sid
which doesnt exists.

if you change your /etc/debian_version to 4.0 the path is:
http://files.directadmin.com/services/4.0/ which worked pretty good.

Only my question is, wont this mess up the server in the long run?

thanks in advance

Hello,

Is "lenny/sid" the entire contents of the /etc/debian_version file? Or is it just a portion of the contents?
If yes, I'll update the setup.sh to handle that wording.

John

that was the only content in the file

"lenny/sid"

Thanks. The setup.sh is now updated.

John

thanks for your quick response!
