Finally I found a CDROM. But I tried to boot on a Knoppix CD and to different
Debian CDs, without success.
I hold down "C" on booting and then I press again "c" to boot on CD. The
system tries, but it does not work, with none of the 3 CDs. It always comes
back to the prompt asking me to press "c" or "l".
The 2 Debian CDs are i386 netinstall CDs. Even if it's not the right CD, they
must not be completely ignored, ther should at least be an error message I
think.
Any explanation ?
Klaus
