Re: FTP-based Debian install
Gee, this is the only way I install Debian now... I downloaded 3 floppies
fromt the net
Recovery, Root, Drivers. And I boot off of them, and with a valid internet
account
I'm able to download the rest of the install from the internet either with
FTP or HTTP.
I'm sorry, I don't have the URL's for the floppies handy, but I got them off
the debian
web site..
