Having been converted to the Debian download-as-needed way, I am now reluctant to download entire ISO's of irrelevant .debs (either raw or thru the pseudo image kit). Now, what I want to know is: what floppy image from debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/2.2.20.0.1-2000-12-03/ do I need to download so I can burn my own CDR installer? I don't have any floppy drive to dd to.
The 1.44 MB floppy image appears to be unusable because it asks for another floppy. From its size ( =1.44MB), I assume that the culprit is the root.bin file. Having booted off the CDR, is there any way I can loop mount the root.bin file to fool the installer into thinking it's reading the file off a floppy?
