Title: Netwinder install - which method

HI Andrew,

 

You can’t boot from a CD (sorry). Take the TFTP road! I have a Netwinder DM running on sarge (upgraded from woody).

 

If you need help, just ask!

François

Subject: Netwinder install - which method

 

I read through the installation manual and searched the newsgroups.
It appears that to install Debian on a Netwinder I've got three choices:
1) Log in to the existing RedHat and run debootstrap, then update the kernel
2) Boot the installer over TFTP
3) Boot from CD (is this even possible on a Netwinder?)

Which is the best method these days? I've got the desktop Netwinder and
it's working with the current Redhat installation.

Thanks,
Andrew
