hi ya GP...
what kind of problems did you encounter ???
- use the debian boot floppy to boot debian..
( trick is to get it online ... get a (default) supported ethernet card...
- than get it online and apt-get update, upgrade...
- ebay bids of $80 - $90 for cdroms is ridiculous...
- brand new name-brand cdrom drives go for $50-$55 range.....
( asus 52x, toshiba 50x, sony 52x ...
