That might be the point. It's a new zx2000 machine, which arrived just 2 days
ago.

Well, not that easy without net. I thought it could work to place an
appropriate vmlinuz into EFI/debian on the fat partition the system is booting
from? I could use win to do the job, but I had to get a vmlinuz.
I tried to download the
kernel-image-2.4.19-itanium.deb
placed it on a FAT partition and tried to install it onto the base debian which
is already running. But this depends on initrd-tools_0.1.36_all.deb which
depends on .... So this procedure is perhaps not the right way to continue. Any
ideas? BTW, I'm not very common with debian. Watched other people installing it
one or two times and now at least that there is dpkg and apt-get and things
like that, but not much more.

Steffen
