Hi, I'm not sure what is causing that error.
Here is the section of the 2.1 install manual that describes low memory systems: http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/i386/ch-rescue-boot.fr.html#s-low-mem -David ----- Forwarded message from christian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> ----- From: christian <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: booting with lowmem on a 386 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] X-UIDL: 1003947364.59936.limousin.fr.clara.net Hi, You send me few weeks ago an answer about my problem about debian 2.2 on a 386 with 7808KB. You have sugested me to load debian 2.1 before with the lowmem.bin. I have done that but : 1) after lowmem boot , disk partitioning and swap on , when the rescue floppy is asked I find the message : "unable to load charset cp_437" ( or 427 maybe ) I have downloaded lowmem.bin , resc1440.bin and root.bin from debian.org. 2) I am not easy with english and I am not sure about the procedure to use the lowmem.bin way to load deb 2.1. Could you send me back a short information. Which partition for the rescue ? Msdos I read ???? I used msdos partition but ... I have obtained the message. And for other floppies ? root and lowmem... 3 floppies ??? If I am wrong with the boot files please join me the file with your answer. Thank you.
