Re: Debian installation by newbie

  Hi,
  I made the required floppy disks....rescue/root/drivers etc.; However, 
when I boot using the rescue disk, the screen reads something like this.
Unkown keyword in syslinux.cfg. (several times),
Then,
Loading linux........
and then it just reboots.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Shashank
