Erk, what's with all the attachments? Is this a question or was the attachment below the answer? In short: get yourself a few boot disks: root, boot and the 3 driver images. Put them onto _brand new floppy disks_ since floppies seem to last about one write and half a read these days. Go to www.debian.org and read the installation manual. You're going to want to a net install, i.e. get the packages from an ftp/http server, so find a mirror near by (http://www.debian.org/mirrors/). You'll need to know your hardware to install Debian, so write down a list of all the pieces of hardware you have, then google for the name of the Linux driver for each of them. Once you 've done all this, you should be ready to go. Boot from the boot disk, insert the root disk when asked for it, and follow the prompts. If you know your hardware, and are willing to read up (and consult this list and #debian on irc.freenode.net) the install is very straight forward. -rob
