I am trying, to no avail, to install Debian 2.2
thru Windows. I haven't been able to get my CD drive to work since it is
not a conventional IDE drive. It attaches to its own sound card.
Anyhow....
1: I have defrag'ed the drive
2: I turned off the virtual memory in win
95
3: I fips to split the partition
4: I rebooted the computer and re-enabled the
virtual memory in win95
5: I ran scan disk and everything looked
ok
6: I copyed the following files to the
desktop
boot.bat
linux
loadlin.exe
root.bin
These
were all copyed from the install folder on the CD
7: I right clicked on the boot.bat
file
8: Went to properties
9: Clicked on the advanced button
10: Checked the ms-dos mode box
11: Exited the properties menu
12: I then double clicked on the MS-DOS shortcut to
boot.bat
13: It gave me a warning that this was going to run
in dos
14: I clicked ok and below is what I
got
uncompressing linux
ran out of input data
system halted
I am installing this on a 66mhz 486DX2 with 16MB of
memory. From what I have read that should be enough to do it. Should
I quit trying to use my current CD drive and just spring for a new IDE
drive? This is so frustrating.
If anyone wants to they can e-mail me direct
at
Thanks,
Andrew
