Used CD ------- *Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 r0 "Etch" - Official i386 NETINST Binary-1 20070407-11:29*
Unable to boot from CD on this laptop - so used floppies initially. Wrote floppies with rwwrtwin Can't swear to this (may have got from a mirror somewhere) - but I think the images came from http://http.us.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current//images/floppy/ I just followed the links in the online installation guide for floppies. If it helps to track down the disks the file on boot.img called disk.lblsays : System: debian-installer Label: Boot floppy Date: 20070308 Made a set of five disks - Boot - Root - CD and two net drivers. Incidentally, I have given the wrong model for the laptop which is actually a Toshiba 210CT (rather than DT) Regards Mal Phillips On 13/05/07, Christian Perrier <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

You first mention booting with floppies then talk about the "netinstall". Was this the Debian installer for Etch or an older version? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.6 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFGRz2F1OXtrMAUPS0RAsmUAKCehwssiUmOCCafXZmdzosAeqm1JQCgrE+5 U2JAflZ0CN/O3XhrNJhzgtU= =h1nv -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
