I'm both a newbie at Debian, and someone with no programming background,
so I don't understand much of this at the moment. But I'll search around
a bit more, and see if I can figure out what this means.

I don't know what bf2.4 means. I just took a standard floppy and
formatted it as ext2 from in Red Hat.

I appreciate your taking the time here. I am beginning to get the
feeling tho, that perhaps Debian is too big a step for someone like
myself, and I should just relegate myself to the fact that I'm going to
have to use one of the commercialized distros. I will give a shot to
looking into this though, before giving up.

Thanks,
