Re: Fresh hamm install



: Unfortunately I don't have much time to seek out all the trouble
: I come across with installin Debian, so I will be nagging at this
: list and at least reporting the errors I come across. Here are the
: first. Hopefully some good soul will fix it eventually.
: 
: 1) When the base floppies untar themselves I get a broken pipe.
:    I think  that line should be written more robust, perhaps
:    without using pipes. But then there must be a good reason for
:    piping the outpuf of zcat into tar. I'm sure the reason is not
:    possible lack of disk space.

*which* base floppies? 
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/hamm/hamm/disks-alpha/
	1997-08-12/  or
	1997-10-05/

This is AGGRAVATING. No one seems to want to update the HOWTO or
mention where they got the materials for installation.

Further, where do you get

	root.bin

	drv1440.bin

	base14-x.bin
