I'm both a newbie at Debian, and someone with no programming background, so I don't understand much of this at the moment. But I'll search around a bit more, and see if I can figure out what this means. > so, did you use a bf2.4 series floppy or a standard floppy ? I don't know what bf2.4 means.

I appreciate your taking the time here. I am beginning to get the feeling tho, that perhaps Debian is too big a step for someone like myself, and I should just relegate myself to the fact that I'm going to have to use one of the commercialized distros. I will give a shot to looking into this though, before giving up.
