Try loadlin! It is on the CD (on my German JFL CD it is in /boot or /disks I
think) but I don't know if this thing will work with NT. With loadlin (if it
works with NT ;-) you should be able to do a disketteless Debian
installation, but don't kill me if this is wrong, beause I've never tried it
before.
