Might be the long way around but 1) boot from windows CD to dos mode, windows 98/me cd can do this for example (i think it is "safe mode with CD" or something like that) 2) swap in your debian cd. run the boot.bat file in (i think, again) \debian\boot directory
This will "replace" the running dos with linux just like you had rebooted with the CD in. Is your debian cd not bootable? -i > -----Original Message----- > From: Peter Hugosson-Miller [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Friday, 15 March 2002 8:53 > To: Panuganty, Ramesh > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: CD install with no floppy drive?? > > > -----Original Message----- > > From: dxtr [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > Sent: Wednesday, March 13, 2002 7:16 PM > > To: [email protected] > > Subject: CD install with no floppy drive?? > > > > Hi, > > > > I tried to install Debian in my laptop, but it has swappable floppy/cd > > drive, so I can only the CD drive.
