format/reinstall debian from CD after wrong installation
Hi all,
I installed the newest debian stable wrong. I entered the wrong gateway IP. So the installation prozess couldn't load a mirror image. Now i would like to reinstall Debian with the right gateway IP and a mirrord image...
It wan't boot from the installation CD Can I enforce that?
I can't format the hole disk
The commands fdisk and mkfs aren't installed
Is there an other easy way?
I'm also quite new in Linux, so it's maybe a stupid question sorry bud i couldn't find a satisfying answer on the web!
Thanks!
