Problems with installing debian with bf2.4 boot disks and images.
Hello
I use loadlin, rawrite2 etc. from
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/dosutil
s
"linux" boot image from
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/bf2.4
"root.bin" from
http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/images-
1.44/bf2.4
I try to boot the debian install program from DOS with the command: -
loadlin linux root=/dev/ram initrd=root.bin disksize=1.44 flavor=bf2.4
It fails with the message "linux, invalid compressed format (err=1)"
This leads me to think that the "linux" image is corrupted.
I downloaded it in binary mode, and also via ftp from a mirror site, with no
luck.
Can anybody help ?
Cheers
James
