Hi all, hope this is the right list for this problem. I'm trying to do a floppyless instalation of the base linux system from DOS using LoadLin. I've downloaded the following files:
resc1440.bin, drv1440.bin, base2_1.tgz, root.bin, linux, install.bat and loadlin.exe. Following the instructions @ http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/i386/ch-install-methods.en.html#s-install-drive, I rebooted into DOS mode and ran the batch file, but loadlin returned the error 'not an image file'. I tried downloading the 'linux' image file again, just to be safe, but that didn't help. Oddly enough, I used this method to install Linux on my computer a couple months ago, and it worked like a charm. Is it possible the the image file on the web site is corrupt? Thanks, Chris Dion
