Floppy time...
I am in the process of installing Debian on a laptop using only floppy
disks. I went ahead and installed the base system with floppies and then
realized that these floppy images expected me to have a CD-ROM or something
to install from dpkg. Any guidance on where I can find the other floppy
images for the distribution? I realize I will probably have to buy
floppies, but I can't really buy a CD-ROM for this laptop at this time.
I downloaded some .deb files to my Win98 desktop thinking I might be able to
rawrite them onto floppies and at least get gcc and make on the laptop, but
I cannot read them into the Linux system from floppy.
Any leads would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
RF
