instalation of 'potato'
Hi Now, I`m using Windows 95 (with MSDOS), but I yet have the Debian2.2 CD for instalation. But I erased (for a mistake) the CD-ROM`s drive of my computer. To install the potato from debian2.2 CD, will I need to install again the CD-ROM drive (of the windows) , or no ? How must I do ?
Re: instalation of 'potato'
just insert the CD and select CDROM for the boot-drive in your BIOS. hth, rw On Wed, 06 Dec 2000 12:54:02 -0200, Tom writes: Now, I`m using Windows 95 (with MSDOS), but I yet have the Debian2.2 CD for instalation.

On any newer machine you should be able to just boot from the CD. -- Original Message -- From: Tom [EMAIL PROTECTED] Date: Wed, 6 Dec 2000 12:54:02 -0200 Hi Now, I`m using Windows 95 (with MSDOS), but I yet have the Debian2.2 CD for instalation.

On many systems, you can just boot from the first CD (if you adjust your BIOS settings). No drivers are required for that. -- Florian Weimer[EMAIL PROTECTED] University of Stuttgart http://cert.uni-stuttgart.de/ RUS-CERT +49-711-685-5973/fax +49-711-685-5898
