Debian installation instructions.
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
Thanks much for (taking part in anyway, not sure how much you did ;-)) writing such excellent installation instructions.
However (there's always one of those, isn't there) I do have a few comments.
First, it's possible to install from a DOS partition w/o using root.bin, linux, or install.bat.
write the rescue image to floppy, put the base2_0.tgz (and I assume eventually base2_1.tgz), and both floppy images
into another drive/partition (presumably a DOS one that is being kept...in fact, with the current install instructions don't
you have to be keeping the DOS partition that is booted from?) ...anyway, boot from the rescue diskette, and tada, it's
installing.
I definitely prefer this method to the one listed in the installation instructions (fewer files to download, only 4...makes it
somewhat less complex I think)
Lastly, looking at the 2.1 installation instructions, I don't like the "table of contents" format that it's in...makes it a pain to
print as well as read.
Hope my comments and suggestions go well towards improving this excellent guide!
Carry on the good work!
