Afaik, more recent versions of Debian dropped > support for Boot Floppies... what replaces them on the Alpha platform? CD and boot-floppies are officially supported only for the current "Stable". Sid is currently "Unstable", that means it will never have an official installer. Sarge is going trough the last steps to become "Stable". One of those steps is the move to the new Debian Installer, which (will) hopefully work on Alpha (it will, actually, but I'm not sure it is already in a usable state right now). > Whats the usual install of SID on Alpha go like? Your best bet is probably to install using the boot-floppies (or CDROM) from Woody, and upgrade right after the installation (pretty easy and almost hassle-free on Debian). If you want to go unsafe, try using the current snapshots of Debian Installer for Alpha. > thanks. > > > > Matt -- Jérôme Warnier <jwarnier@beeznest.net>
