You'll need to run the "install.bat" from within the directory where
your Debian files are (e.g. C:\DEBIAN). You'll need to have several
files in that directory ("install.bat", "root.bin", "linux",
"drv1440.bin", "resc1440.bin", "loadlin.exe", and "base2_1.tgz" (or
something like that, I don't remember off-hand). Also, chances are that
you downloaded the "linux" from a browser that automatically renamed it
"linux.htm"; if so, rename the file back to just "linux".
