Re: Starting with Debian 68k..
Erik,
Thanks for recommending those links to me (was a month or two ago)...
I was able to turn my "Helen Keller" machine into a tcp/ip machine and
use ftp!
Now if potato install didn't crash every time it scans the CD for index
files...
Also my woody iso's can't find the cd when I choose as install medium...
Just ranting, sorry,
Thanks again for the pointers!
