- maybe try a different rawrite, or else 'dd' on a unix system to create a not broken floppy. (However, it may be the floppy drive that has the problem rather than the floppy.) -You might try the bf2.4 kernel flavor as the floppy driver might handle a flaky drive better. -Once debian-installer is ready for prime time it will likely solve this problem since it uses an initrd included in the initial rescue disk. -figure out how to boot off a cdrom, maybe look in the BIOS to enable boot from the cdrom. -David -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
