RE: Current rescue disk will not boot a Thinkpad 365X
Even though you may utilize the Debian 1.1 floppy set to start out, it
doesn't mean that you can't do "an unstable install." Use the floppies and then
point dselect at whatever Debian version you have/or are interested in. It
worked fine for me to go right from the 1.1 base install to 1.2. That's the
beauty of Debian.
