RE: just starting
Gary, check out the URL below for more information. It should answer all of your questions.
(As a hint: You don't want to download the file directly to your diskette. You want to retrieve it to your system and then use a program called RAWRITE2.EXE to write the file to the diskette.)
But, like I said, all the info you need is at the location below:
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/stable/disks-i386/current/install.html
If you have any further questions, ask again!

Subject: just starting
I am a rank beginner and I know this question will display ignorance
(perhaps terminal) but ---
I downloaded the installation instuctions from debian.org and started to
download resq1440.bin to my 1.44 floppy. The download went quickly but I
then got a message saying the file doesn't fit on the floppy. It is a 1.44
mb drive and the disk is a standard pre-formatted MF2HD for IBM
compatibles. The debian.org directory indicates a 1,474,560 kb file size
and my WIN95 file explorer says the floppy has 1.38 kb available. Doesn't
sound like it ever had a chance of working. Am I missing something? Can I
use the 1.2 kb series download files? Seems like that could cause floppy
driver problems during installation. Should I forget the whole program and
stay fat, dumb and happy in WIN95?
Thanks, (gifford@maui.com)
