But is it possible to do a Debian net install _without_ any floppies
(and without CD etc) to a i386 box? I tend to never have any useable
floppies at home, but I have a 10Mbps connection to

I'm not sure about that.
How would you boot without a floppy or a bootable CD? You might be able to
get away with partitioning the HD such that you have a partition which holds
the driver-1-3.bin files, but I'm pretty sure for a Debian install you need
at least a rescue.bin and root.bin diskette

I have been a member of this list for awhile. Have been able to help a
few people with bits of knowledge. Now I am asking for your help. I am
upgrading my server to a faster more roomier system. I have about 15
users and several hosted web sites, and various virtual email users. I
am using RH 6.2

Uhm, actually I didn't think about that, so I guess I'd get some
trouble, then :)
But I am about to get a new network card at work, with a nifty
bootprom-thingie on it, and it's capable of booting via tftpd. (Sor

The Ext2 filesystem TRIES to avoid fragmentation by putting files in one
place, if it can. NTFS also does this. This works fine until the file
system starts to get full, and then fragmentation occurs.

Absolutely. /home is where user data goes. None of the OS or application
code goes there unless, when installing individual apps later, you put it
there by *your* choice. (StarOffice 5.
Actualy at an install fest a couple of years ago.. there was someone with
SunIPX that we managed to install over the network without a floppy or

this.. :
When installing staroffice I recommend installing it in some usual

agreed. stormix was actually the first successful install of a linux system I had.
it went very smoothly, and it seems to readily install on more systems than some of
the other distros I've found. (we're talking prior to massive configuration on those
other installs).

Also, if you haven't tried Debian 2.2, give it a shot. I had trouble with
the 2.1 install, but 2.2 is working just great on my systems. It looks like
they streamlined the install process and got rid of a lot of the
configuration questions. I didn't like how it would want you to configure

Hi Anton,
Try adding the path to the StarOfice binary into your own path or the
global path for your system.
For bash, this would be in your .bash_profile or globally /etc/profile
For csh, this would be your .cshrc or globally /etc/csh.cshrc
These might differ by system (the global locations).
