This is possible indeed. You'll probably have to format the disk with DOS labels otherwise d-i might get confused. > Also we tried 15 gig drives, the Raq2 will go from Net Booting to the > selection of NFS, and start to pull down the files from a mirror. > When we place a 40 gig drive it never leaves Net Booting.

I have heard onother report that the firmware would not boot with a 40 gig disk while a 30 gig disk worked just fine. It's possible that you have a version of the firmware which doesn't like disks bigger than 32 gig. > When we are able to get a download, though we have had mirrors not > respond and we keep hitting retry or will select a different mirror. > Do some mirrors not carry the same versions as other mirrors? They should all carry the same files. Using ftp.debian.org or the oregonstate mirror should work. > Which version should we really be downloading? Stable - Testing or Unstable?
