Having used the rescue and then the root floopy I can get to the
installation menu. The partition list is given as
Device Mounted on Type
/dev/hda1Not mounted Linux native
2Not in use Linux swap
3Not available HPFS
If I just type 'rescue' at the boot prompt I get the slightly different
error message 'Kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:00', so
this doesn't provide me with the chance to run fdisk, or anything else.
But, I know that I've only got hda1 thru' 4 and I've tried all of them -

That should be perfectly straightforward... but while a floppy has
1457664 bytes on it, rescue.bin is 1474560 bytes, so won't fit! The
rescue.bin file on http:///images-1.20/ will fit on a standard
floopy, but how does this differ from the /images-1.44/ version?
Thanks.

You could try http://www.swt.com based in Dallas. They seem to know what
they're doing, and shipping costs aren't too high. You need to specify
you want Debian or they'll put RedHat on by default. There are a few
other options out there... see the list via on the the Debian homepage.

I've just been using pppd via pon / poff from root ever since I set
things up with pppconfig, but now that I want to add other users to the
system I need a way of giving users access. I tried just adding users
through the appropriate bit of pppconfig, and I far as I can tell, it's

I've been trying to get pppconfig set up to run with my ISP

the Debian partition isn't picking up the (internal) modem - how can I
check this out and correct it if it is a problem? Any other ideas?
Thanks.

I have acquired a username, password and phone number for a local isp
and am having trouble setting up a dial-up connection. I've been trying
to use the default PPP utility that comes with GNOME but it seems to
want lots additional information I don't know how to provide.
Any help much appreciated.
