Re: slink on Athlon

[Stuart Laird <bugbear@netspace.net.au>]

I cannot get my copy of debian to boot at all.  If I could then I would be able
to change the kernel myself.  I need a boot disk for slink with a 2.2.13 kernel
or later so that it will boot on my Athlon.

If possible please send me a rawrite file of the disk image.
