My problem is this: i'm installing Debian Linux on a Intel 486 w/ 12mb 
RAM...the CD drive isn't able to be booted from so i tried to install using 
the rescue floppy (resc1440.bin copied using rawrite2.exe on Win98); however, 
everytime i use the rescue floppy, it crashes after displaying the info text 
and:

boot: linux..

my question is this...is this a common problem? is there an easy way out of 
this? or do u have no clue what i'm talking about..:) anyway, thanx for 
looking at this...
Joe

We believe that the bug you reported has been fixed in the potato
boot-floppies, such as version 2.2.8 or higher.

Note that many boot problems are fixed in 2.2.8 since they use the 2.2
kernels.  There are many additional flavors of kernels for i386 as
well.

In some cases, bugs are closed due to lack of feedback from the user.

Many problems are also fixed by the inclusion of new packages from
Potato, such as makedev, modconf, etc.

The management of the boot sector has also changed, which solves many
problems.

We encourage you to test the potato boot-floppies on your system.  If
your problem persists, please either respond to debian-boot and CC
your original bug and we will reopen the bug, or else submit a new bug
against the boot-floppies package.

Thanks so much for helping to improve the debian installation system.
