Hello, I am trying to install Debian Linux on a system which is built from 100% free, recycled parts. It has an AMD '386 DX/DXL-25 processor, and a 41 MB HDD. BIOS detects 640KB of Base and 4325KB of Ext. memory.
I have repeatedly run the "RESC1440.BIN" diskette, and after Linux uncompresses, after some stuff flies past the screen, I get the MSG: "You do not have enough RAM, hence you must use the special low-memory installation procedure. Read the instructions in the install.html file". Well, I have read that document several times, esp. the section on low-mem installation. It says to use the low-memory root diskette (which I have downloaded and prepared w/rawrite) when prompted, but I never got a prompt for the Root diskette. Do I need a special version of RESC1440.BIN diskette as well? I did not see one in the directory I ftp'd Debian from (ftp.debian.org/debian/stable/disks-i386/current/). I read somewhere about a disk-image called RSC1440R.BIN, but haven't seen it anywhere yet. I'm very excited to get this box running 100% free hardware and software. The hardware is finally functional; if you can help w/the OS, I'll be indebted.
