Re: Problems Installing Debian 3.0 r 4

[George Papamichelakis <george@step.gr>]

Perhaps your cd-rom device  is not using the el-torito protocol for boot 
cd's (or is incompatible
for some reason) or your bios has a problem with bootable cd's. Why 
don't you make (from the cd you have
already) the floppy disks that will permit you to begin the installation 
(using the cd's you already have
later on ) ?
