You need two floppies, if you has a supported net device (see debian/dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/compact/kernel-config). If the compact-kernel don't support your card, you need a extra driver disk. (all with the potato floppies) after this you can all download from the net, your local mirror, etc. Gruss Grisu -- Michael Bramer - a Debian Linux Developer http://www.debian.org PGP: finger grisu@db.debian.org -- Linux Sysadmin -- Use Debian Linux Win0.98 supports real multitasking - it can boot and crash simultaneously.
