If so, could you please tell me where I could get them? Actually, an even better way would be to take your computer to where you have a fast net connection, and try to install it over the net. This (I think) requires only floppies. See http://www.debian.org/distrib/floppyinst You'll want to substitute the word woody or testing for stable in /dists/stable/main/disks-XXXX/. See also instructions in http://www.debian.org/releases/testing/i386/install.en.html#contents Disclaimer: I've never tried doing a floppy-only installation. I have some potato CDs and I usually use those and upgrade to woody as soon as I have a working net connection. You'll need an ethernet card for this, and you'll need to find out which driver is needed for the card, because Debian isn't terribly helpful about telling you those things. Faheem.
