Tim,
I'm not sure I'd recommend 2.0 for a first-time Linux installation yet (it
isn't quite ready for release). Version 1.3 is quite stable. I have done
one fresh installation of 2.0 without problems although some others have
had difficulties.
However, if you really want to try 2.0, go to ftp.debian.org in the
directory /pub/debian/dists/frozen/main/disks-i386/current and read
install.txt. This tells how to create the various floppies needed plus a
lot more. You will need rawrite2, which is in /pub/debian/tools.
