Hi, I'm currently trying to try debian-installer on an OldWorld -- as I got it, the CD won't be bootable, and no floppy images are available.
I found some vmlinux+initrd.gz downloads, but I don't know what to do with it ? I tried booting the provided vmlinux with quik, specifying initrd=<path_to_initrd.gz> on the command-line : it boots fine, but all I get is my normal prompt. I suspect this is because I also specified root=<current_root_device>, but I had no idea which other root device I could use... Is there an oldworld-specific debian-installer howto somewhere, or am I missing something obvious (do I need specific packages installed (for an installer ???), or won't it work with quik anyway, or...) I'd really like to test this, so any suggestion is greatly appreciated. Thanks Simon -- Simon Vallet Due to massive spam, the address shown in the From: header only accepts mail from Debian hosts.
