> ./patch-floppy-image.pl: line 1: boot-floppy-hfs.img: command not found It looks like you don't have perl installed? This is a perl script, line 1 is: #!/usr/bin/perl -w Is your boot-floppy-hfs.img the one dated 16-May-2002 from the current woody ftp archive? That one already has the arguments as you have listed, including video=ofonly. You may need a version without that argument. This has come up before on 7200s, and actually there are 2 versions of the floppy image now being supplied (one with video=ofonly, one without). But the changed version of boot-floppies hasn't been released yet. The patch script was made for the earlier version of the boot floppy, and doesn't work for the current one (which has the video=ofonly argument already). Two options: I can send a version of the patch script which will work on the current floppy image (just checked it into CVS), or I can send a version of the image which doesn't have the video=ofonly argument. You would need to get perl on your machine in order to use the script. -- *------v--------- Installing Debian GNU/Linux 3.0 --------v------* | <http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/installmanual> | | debian-imac: <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | To Have, Give All to All (ACIM) | *----------------------------------------------------------------*
