i assume you're planning on installing debian on drive d?? safe assumption i
suppose... i find installing from a dos partition to be extremely easy.

make sure all the installing files are in the same location (same folder,
same drive obviously). boot to plain old dos and cd:\whatever to thedir you
put the files in and just type install.bat. (to make it easier i stick all
the files just in c:) i dont recall being asked for a kernel name...but i
think if i was i would just hit enter. if you don't specify a kernel name
lilo will use whatever kernel it finds on the same drive. (i think!)
