Hello;
I am interested in installing Debian on a 486 machine. This machine does not have a CDROM drive so I will have to download the whole package and install it from floppies/ftp. Here is my situation; I will be connecting the 486 on Ethernet to an NT box. I would like download all the packages that I need on to that NT box and ftp those packages to the Linux Debian machine. Basically, I would like to install the Debian base installation using a minimum floppies. So my question is; What exactly do I need besdies the 3 base disks, 1 boot disk and 1 root disk to get the Debian machine talking to the NT machine using FTP. My 2nd question/problem is that yesterday I was on the ftp.debian.org site to download the latest disks. I went in the /debian/debian-1.1.11/disks-i386 directory but I couldn't find the floppy images under make-floppies (which seems to be a script). I would like to get the latest _stable_ Debian package. I was wondering if someone could point me to the correct directory on ftp.debian.org to grab this from. If this is a stupid question which is in a fAQ somewhere, please point me to that. I have been on www.debian.org and their instructions seem to be for version 1.1. I would like version 1.1 with the latest fixes/upgrades. i appreciate any help that you can provide me here or thru email. Thanks in advance, Regards, Vaibhav ---------- -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Trouble? e-mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
