hai,I have downloaded the bootdisk from the dutch ftp-site. After that i put them on disk. No problem so far. I put the rescue disk in my floppy-drive and reboot the computer.
You're referring to a "rescue" disk, such as: http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/woody/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/rescue.bin
right?
After that I see a welcome and then several times the message "unknown keyword in syslinux.cfg"Then the boot : I press the enter button and linux.bin is loaded. when this is ready nothing is happening :( I tried to make the disk another time with another mirror.
You first made the disk from WinXP? Did you use the "rawrite2.exe" tool to do so?
Have you tried a different floppy? I've gone through four different floppies on one occasion before I found one that works; even if all else indicates that the floppy is not damaged, installing Debian via floppies often finds that such disks are indeed less than perfect.Make the disk with suse-linux but with no luck. Make the disk on another computer.
With a machine this nice, surely you have a working CD-ROM drive? If that's the case, I'd highly recommend you give up on the floppy-based method (takes something like 16 floppies, very tiresome, troublesome, then you still only have a minimal base setup) and go for the netinstall CD method instead. See http://www.debian.org/distrib/netinst (although now I see you can do a floppy-based netinstall which only takes a couple of floppies, so perhaps the first part of this paragraph isn't so appropriate after all).Who knows the solution to this problem.?? My system is now: AMDk6 processor. 248 MB memory Dual boot with XP and Suse Linux 9.0
