In a thread discussing my attempts at a minimal {definition
explicitly open} install, it was suggested that I investigate
using deboostrap. I could not find a reference explicitly
covering *ALL* the steps required to create a bootable system.
While searching for more details on steps mentioned

OK. I don't know the nature of the problem you are trying to fix, but could
it be reproduced/triaged in a virtual machine? It might be much quicker/easier

The binary CD uses the normal resc1440.bin to boot.
The source CD uses the boot disk with the tecra patch
Depends on what your system needs.
I would suggest that one partition is OK if you are having an initial play
with Linux. You will probably make several installs before you start to
use GNU/

Well I am not sure if I really know what I am talking about, and this may
be stupid, but:
1) you can't change the size? Just delete the numbers it gives you and
