I used a SBM floppy to boot from the CD. The sbm floppy image came from the Debian CD. I tried to boot from a rescue floppy / root floppy (images from the Debian CD) and then installed from the CD - same result. I've also burned a new CD in case something went wrong - same result... The machine is an old Pentium 166 MMX machine with an IDE and a SCSI disc (I'm trying to install the system on the IDE disc.) \�ke -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
