Hi -- I'm trying to install Debian 1.3 from a set of 1.44 floppies; which contain a kernel compiled just for my setup by kind Susan Kleinmann ( and based on 2.0.30 kernel). (Stock rescue floppy gets stuck on my aic7xxx driver...) Installation goes smoothly through setting up a color display, keyboard config (US-english), initializing and checking for bad blocks on /dev/sdb5 (swap), /dev/sdb6 (/), /dev/sda6 (/usr), /dev/sda7 (/var) and /dev/sdb7 (/usr) partitions and mounting filesystems. Next option is "Install operating system kernel and modules". I hit Enter nad then answer "Install from rescue floppy"-or something to that effect- (which is in /dev/fd0 initially- and that initial message screen which comes up after booting recognizes it as /dev/fd0 1.44 Mb...) and use "/dev/fd0". Instead of transferring kernel over to hard disk installation comes back with the message: "Installing from the rescue floppy... ./install.sh: Can't open ./install.sh The attempt to extract the rescue floppy failed... Press ENTER when you are ready." When I hit enter, it takes me back to the option "Install operating system kernel..." (after it goes and inspects my system). I have tried three different floppies, two downloads of the resc1440.bin file (written to the floppy using rawrite2 on WinNT4.0 machine). I have also tried to look (after trying to install it) at the contents of the rescue floppy using WinNT explorer and found the file Install.sh. I don't know why is it capitalized, and that might be the cause of the problem (if it is I don't know how to fix it). Also I have been running the Debian 1.1 and 1.2 on this same machine for the last two years (how I lost everything is a sad and long story..but HDs have been freshly repartitioned) with no problems. Any help appreciated. Sorry for being so long.. TIA DamirN
