Re: cdrom installation not starting
Heh, replying to my own msg. I'm installing from the HD as I write this.
Fortunately there were three partitions on the windoz installation so i
copied the cd over to D:\ and am installing on C:\ with the swap partition
on E:\. Now the installation program is running off of D:\ and it's using
the cdrom as installation media.
So my question is, when installation's done how do I incorporate the old
windows D:\ partition into my Debian system? Not dual boot fwiw, just Debian.

I've just gotten an old Aptiva with W95 on it. Even though I set the bios
to booting from cdrom it won't. Am using the Woody mini-iso. Windoz is
able to read the cd so am trying to follow the docs.
Booting from a W95 startup floppy with cdrom support I got as far as
G:\install\boot.bat
get an immediate msg "bad command or file name" followed by the 4 booter
install options. I choose [4] the vanilla one and get "bad command or file
name" as a response.
