Hi all This must be a pretty standard question but I couldn'f find what I need.
I have the Debian 2.2 (Potato) CD's which were the source of quite a few installation. In all those I could boot from the CD. The present candidate, a Toshiba Satellite Laptop with Pentium 266 MMX, refuses to boot from the CD. I made a rescue floppy from DOS usring rawrite2 which boots fine. This is the quesiton: How do I install by making a minimum number of floppies? Ideally this rescue CD should be suffiecient. The kernel in the rescue floppy recognizes the CD. Can I give something like "linux root=...." so that the CD will take control? Cheers Visvanath.
