Hi ,

I've a problem which I hope I could get some help from the experts :-

I'm a new Debian user. I'm trying to install the OS into my existing
Windows 95 pc with the following configuration :-

133MHZ Pendium
82Mbyte RAM
Drive C: 1.2Gbyte      (primary ide master)
Drive D : 850Mbyte   (2ndary ide master)
Drive E : CDROM

I plan to dedicate whole D: drive for Linux & I'm attempting to run
Install.bat from a directory D:\debian which contains all the files
needed to install the system.

When I run install.bat from Dos prompt,
the first Q asked was "enter Kernel image", I responded with Linux.exe;
the installation continue until I got the following msg :

Kernel panic : can't mount .....

Am I doing it right ?
Should I partition the disk first ? how ?

Thks a lot for your help & advise ...

b.r.,
z.s.
