Have you set you CD drive as a boot device in the BIOS? Or, are you saying your system can't boot from CD? You can make the disks under windows from the CD. The diskette images are under: /dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44 and the images you need are: rescue.bin root.bin drivers-1.bin drivers-2.bin drivers-3.bin drivers-4.bin You can use the rawrite utility to make the disks from windows. This utility is under: /dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/dosutils have fun. jc -- Jeff Coppock Systems Engineer Diggin' Debian Admin and User
