Hi folks,
Thanks for the info on installation. I may not need to download any
stuff. I have been passed a 'debian-30r1-i386-binary-1' cd-rom with
600+ MB of content.
I start-off installation with a rescue.bin floppy, then the root.bin
floppy, then proceed to load the drivers with drivers.tgz on the
hard-disk. Next, to 'Install the Base System', I select cd-rom as the
medium. Was prompted to 'Please place the first Debian cd-rom in the
cd-rom drive.' which I did and then select 'choose from a list of all
likely directories'. The response is "couldn't find directory
containing basedebs.tar or lists/woody/main/binary-i386/Release.'
You should just be able to boot off the CD (assuming your BIOS is so
configured), and then everything should just work. If not, the CD may be
damaged.
Did you create the rescue.bin floppy from this CD, or from some other
source? If the latter, I suspect you're working with two different
"versions" of Debian, but I'm not sure, because I never use floppies.
