Re: Initial Installation.
Hi, the nano-HOWTO would be great if it actually said where to get
the startup disks listed in its Chapter 4:
- milo.dd : ftp://gatekeeper.dec.com/pub/Digital/Linux-Alpha/Miniloader
- rescue_{noname,multia}.bin: Presumably
ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/hamm/hamm/disks-alpha/1997-10-05/
I have an avanti, So I got rescue_avanti from the 1997-08-12
directory, but noticed vmlinux-avanti.gz in 1997-10-05... Which should
one get?
- root.bin: 1997-08-12 directory?
- drv1440.bin 1997-08-12 directory?
- base14-x.bin 1997-08-12 directory?
