'Evening All,

I have been trying to install a Debian "woody" distribution on an old
'386 with 32MB RAM.  It is to be a network install and I am using the
"compact flavour" boot-floppies vis: rescue.bin, root.bin, driver-1.bin
& driver-2.bin.

The computer boots from the rescue.bin floppy and eventually gets to the
point where it asks for the root disk.  The first message after
inserting the root floppy and pressing enter is
RAMDISK: Compressed image found at block 0
followed a long time after by 
crc error<5>VFS: Insert root floppy and press ENTER

I would suspect the media except the floppies work in another computer.

Has anyone any other thoughts on what could be wrong?

regards,

Ken
