Thanks for reply. The machine is so old it won't boot from CD, I tried. I haven't tried making a "Debian floppy". The machine currently has Redhat 5.0 (c. 1997). I installed Redhat with the DOS disk procedure, so that's why I was doing it with Woody. I will try making a Debian floppy, if it can be done from Redhat.

Have you tried the Debian boot disks? -- Jamin W. Collins -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
