RE: Woody on a 486/50
Thanks for reply. The machine is so old it won't boot from CD, I tried. I
haven't tried making a "Debian floppy". The machine currently has Redhat
5.0 (c. 1997). I installed Redhat with the DOS disk procedure, so that's
why I was doing it with Woody. I will try making a Debian floppy, if it can
be done from Redhat.

First question, why are you using a DOS boot disk, instead of the Debian
boot disks? Have you tried the Debian boot disks?
