It just happened that I made a local mirror of the Debian archive at the end of February and didn't update it since then ;-) There I have pre-slink boot floppies 2.1.6-1999-02-02 and 2.1.8-1998-02-22 (they should be 1999-02.22, I guess ;-) ). 2.1.6 didn't work on my SparcClassic (the installation process was entering an infinite loop), but 2.1.8 did so perfectly! Please let me know if you need one of those, since I'm going to update my mirror pretty soon ;-) --- Shurik.
