Re: Install with floppies and NFS

1999-10-01 Thread Jordan Howarth 

Seth Are you using rawrite or dd, or just a straight copy? A straight copy
Seth will never work, but a rawrite (from dos) or dd (under a unix) will do
Seth the job nicely. :)

Sorry! Read the #$%! manual, right? :)

Install with floppies and NFS

1999-09-30 Thread Jordan Howarth 
OK. I have finally got the laptop and the time. I went to ftp.debian.org to get
resc1440.bin, plus associated others, and tried to cp it to floppy BUT ... Have
floppies shrunk since this stuff was put onto the site? My floppy in 1.457 Kb 
but
resc1440.bin is 1.475 Kb. How's a guy supposed to do a virgin install with this
dilemma.

Help please.
