My A1200 is standard, and has just the normal amiga video system.
Can I still install debian onto the machine?

I had a look at those files. They wont run etc when I click on them.
I'm running 3.1 roms, with 3.9 os, using the cdrom driver that comes with 
3.1/3.9. All the files are not in long file name format, and are 8.3. 
I had a look at one of them and ran it's command by hand. The kernal goes 
through it's startup and then I get a black screen with the monitor being 
over driven. (it's a standard 1084s)
