Click on this link. It is the installation instructions for Debian
Linux. READ THEM!!! ALL!!! It will save you from a bad experience. Even
if you do not understand them at first, they will make sense as you get
into setting up your system.
http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/i386/install
The base installation from floppy disks that you make using your windows
98 OS may be obtained from this link
ftp://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/dists/slink/main/disks-i386/current/
Follow the instructions from the install site.
Do Not GUESS at what to do. Ask specefic questions when you do not find
your own answer.
ADVICE:
Linux is FUN, but it requires patience, perseverence and skill. Those
skills must be acquired by experience. You did not learn to use Windows
efficiently overnight, and you will not learn Linux overnight either.
Good Luck!!!
