Re: Help needed intalling debian

Dale,

thanks for your help.
   I was unable to run rawrite2 on my computer (it kept hanging) so I was using an 
earlier version which must not have been working correctly.  I created the disks with 
rawrite2 on a different computer and also used the special tecra files.  Installation was 
a success !!

thanks again

David
