Well, I was able to get past this failure. I ended up tar/gziping the three
images-1.44 files (rescue.bin, root.bin & driver.bin) and copying them to my
hard drive and installing them from there. All of the base-1.bin to base-11.bin
installed O.K. Sounds good, eh? Not finished yet. :(
I now get a failure when creating a boot disk. The installer message instructs
me to make sure there in a disk in the drive and that it is not write protected.
There is and no, it isn't. Try again. No joy. :(( Any ideas on how to get past
this stopper?
I really should get a CDROM for my TT, but I don't have one yet. I see the .iso
of the distribution is 630MB. What all (just an idea is good,) is on it?
Last question and I'll go away; for a bit. :) Is or will anyone be developing
the linux drivers for the new graphics card that came out for the TT/MSTe? (

Hei Blair Dean.
Like you I have a Atari TT030, the problem I found was that
it would not recognise my disk format, to create the image. The program used
was to rawwrite the relevent files to each floppy. I suspect you have the
CD distribution Debian. If so, install from that method as it is alot quicker.
Just follow the instructions for cdrom (scd0)scsi. Depending on which version
of Debian. Hamm,Slink or Potato, will have different speed on installation.
I think Slink is a lot better in sum respect. Give us a shout if you need
extra help.
