RE: CD install with no floppy drive??
Might be the long way around but
1) boot from windows CD to dos mode, windows 98/me cd can do this for
example (i think it is "safe mode with CD" or something like that)
2) swap in your debian cd. run the boot.bat file in (i think, again)
\debian\boot directory
This will "replace" the running dos with linux just like you had rebooted
with the CD in.
Is your debian cd not bootable?
