Package: boot-floppies
Version: woody stable 3.0.23-2002-05-21

Hi All, I tried to install Debian 3.0 on my old PC with 12M of RAM and =
no CD-ROM.
I placed the rescue floppy in the floppy drive and I pressed Enter at =
the boot: prompt and it started to read the root floppy... but it didn't =
end!
It seemed a memory problem... so I tried to use the "linux mem=3D12m" at =
the boot: prompt.
I got a lot of errors because "there are not enaugh memory: only 9M".
I checked my BIOS setting (shadow ram disabled) and I'm sure that the =
memory is working (640Kb base + 11Mb extended when booting).
Maybe I have to use some boot option?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Athos

I'm closing all bug reports filed on the boot-floppies since this
codebase has reached its end of life. boot-floppies is only in Debian
oldstable now (and temporarily in unstable because of bug #224469).
The new installer for sarge and beyond is of course, the
debian-installer. It solves a great many issues present in the
boot-floppies.
If you believe that your boot-floppies bug is still present in
debian-installer somehow, then please reopen the bug report and reassign
it there, or perhaps better, file a new bug report.
