Has any one tried to install debian like this:
boot using the rescue disk set, (whatever it is but
has tar , gzip, and file system utilities and a text
editor)
run fdisk to partition
mount parttition intended to be root
mount partition contaning base.tgz
extract all base.tgz onto the intended root partition.
edit /root_mount_point/etc/fstab correctly
boot the machinne using boot floppy but root as the
new root
continue the installation process.
remember install lilo manually for booting.
