-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Truthfully you can do 2 or 3 other things...netboot(tftp with pxe)the box into Linux from Vista, or create boot floppies(I use to do it all the time)from the boot images(the images are there write them with a tool called "disk write"). Lastly good ole USB...write an iso to USB, then it's a done deal.
Etch floppy images: http://ftp.nl.debian.org/debian/dists/etch/main/installer-i386/current/images/floppy/ Sadly boot floppies went out the door with Lenny, BUT you can always install the base, change your sources list for Lenny and BINGO BANGO. Have fun with the floppies...it's really nice.
