I was trying to do a fresh install of etch using the net-install
cdrom, but my cdrom drive kept flaking out. I figured that I'd have
to install a new drive, but then I remembered that Debian can be

I cant seem to find a decent howto on how to get debian installed via
floppy only, with my netgear fa411 pcmcia network card working and on
the network.
Does anyone know of one? I have been researching all day and my eyes
are tired from reading all the docs I have, so any help would be
great.

I have an old 486DX50 with 16MB of RAM in it and I want to install
Debian on it.
Here's the catch:
I have no CD-ROM.
I have a super old BIOS so it can't see anything over ~120MB of disk -
the real 1024 block problem!!!
I have to install from floppy with aspirations that I can use the 3com

Hi,
I'm trying to do a "vanilla" Debian floppy install (rescue + root +

The system boots ok from the rescue disk and I get the boot: prompt, to

You might try coping the files to floppies that have
been formated on the target machine's drive. Or
transfer the target machine's floppy drive to the
machine doing the copying and then move it back to the
tarket machine. Methinks floppy interchange may be a
problem.
