Check out: http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst
I have done several network installs using the 4 floppy images. It
works very easily.

Ummm ... No Floppy Drive, and, although we have a working drive {What a
Relic!}, we have no diskettes for it.
Before anyone mentions burning CD's {or perhaps after} I do not have a CD
Burner.
I have a perfectly good Win98SE Partition that boots great to DOS. I have
LoadLin. Now all I need are the correct files to work with LoadLin to get
it to start.
I have a file called linux, apparently the kernel itself. I have a file,
initrd, which appears to be the initial ramdisk, and there's another file,
called default, which appears to be a settings file for getting started.
When I loadlin linux initrd=initrd default, it says that the file is not in
the correct format and halts.
What files do I need, and where can I get them?
Love & Friendship & Blessed Be!
