Hi, just tried to in stall debian for the first time. I downloaded everything on to two small hard drives (no cdrom ). I have made my rescue.bin and root.bin an d it goes into installation fine, all goes well from choosing the keyboard to pa rtion the hard disk but when it's time to install it asks for three different lo cations ie floppy/cdrom or hard drive. On hdc1 i have all the dir's containing t he extras (net/comms/x11 etc). On hdd1 I have everything else ie base.tgz, drive rs.tgz, rescue.bin etc. It asks for the path to rescue.bin and drivers.tgz and w hen i point it to the correct place it tells me to get "lost". I have mounted bo th hdd1 and hdc1 to /target/mnt/hd* and also /mnt/hd* and it still doe snot work . I can't use floppies because to untar all that stuff onto disks from drivers.t gz is a mission. How else can I get the installation going. I have also created the path /dists/potato/main/disks-i386/current/images-1.44/ and copied rescue.bi n here, but this does not seem to help. I'm obviously doing something VERY WRONG but I don't know what (probably because I come from a redhat background). How c an I get the installation going? Thanks --
