The cable should be cheap. Here's how I would do it with your current setup (assuming sb is acting like your secondary ide slot):
1) <alt><f2> to get a prompt 2) dmesg | more # find the cd 3) mount -t iso9660 /dev/hdc /cdrom # From memory, possible typo # the hdc is what you are looking for, could be hdd 4) <alt><f1> to get to the install menu again HTH, Brandon On Thu, 8 Jan 1998, Alexandre Simoneau wrote: > Hi! > > > I was running Redhat but I just bought Debian 1.3.1 Cd.
