That sounds like a bad floppy to me. 4MB should work fine. > It gives a message like "this is disk 0 of 0 of set basedisk > 1440..." and I can get no further. That's a bad floppy for sure. It's reading part of the header correctly, and part incorrectly. I have changed the boot floppies since Pacific mastered their CD, and I suggest that you download the disk images in ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/debian-0.93/disks, write 5 new floppies from those, and proceed with the installation. P.S. Is there anyone here from Pacific Hightech providing customer support for their CD? Thanks Bruce -- See Pixar's "Toy Story", at a theater near you starting November 22.
