Tim,
How did you exactly get the files that you mentioned? Via FTP or HTTP?
If you obtained the files via HTTP there is a page called "Installation Via
FTP" that has all the information you need to install Debian 2.0.
Also, if you look at the same place you got the boot and root floppies
you should also see a few other files. The ones you need are:
1. resc1440.bin
2. drvs1440.bin
3. base1 Thru base5.bin
4. rawrite2.exe
This should get you started. Use the rawrite2.exe to extract the *.bin
files to 7 1.44m floppies. And then insert the rescUE Disk into your floppy
drive and reboot. That should get you started and you can get the rest from
the FTP site.
Hope this helps get you going....
