Hi At work I've been given the task of installing Debian on an old Alpha XL 300 that is currenty running Red Hat 6.2. I have never installed Linux on a non x86 plaform before so am having quite a lot of difficulty.
>From what I can gather from the documentation I need to create a bootable floppy and then boot of this to start the install. The documentation (http://debian.org/releases/stable/alpha/ch04s02.html.en) says that the image for this floppy is dependant on the specific Alpha, which I believe for the XL 300 is xlt, and can be found in the following location: <ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/lenny/main/disks-alpha/current/MILO/> There doesn't seem to be any MILO directory, not even a disks-alpha directory. Where can I find these disk images? Am I on the right track with this? Does anyone know of some simple step by step instructions for installing on Alpha?
