I installed it with automatic Debian package installation program.
So I don't know if I have such file.
Not really the file INSTALL but a lot of information in /usr/share/doc like this file.

More filedescriptors for squid
The old Linux 2.0.x kernel had support for a maximum of 256 filedescriptors per process. The squid FAQ talks about this, and recommends use of a special patch for 2.0.x kernels. Don't use that patch - use a 2.2.19 kernel or later, since the recent 2.2.x kernels (and 2.4, ofcourse) have support for lots of filedescriptors built in.
The Debian Squid package has a special patch included that makes it possible for squid to use more than 1024 filedescriptors. You can enable this by increasing SQUID_MAXFD in /etc/default/squid.
The /etc/init.d/squid script then sets the maximum number of filedescriptors at startup using 'ulimit'. It also examines the global file maximum in /proc/sys/fs/file-max and increases that to (SQUID_MAXFD + 4096) if it is lower than that.

Are you using testing/unstable? AFAIK the stable package is squid 2.4.6-2woody2
debian:~# cat /etc/default/squid # # /etc/default/squid #
# Max. number of filedescriptors to use. You can increase this on a busy # cache to a maximum of (currently) 4096 filedescriptors. Default 1024. SQUID_MAXFD=1024
That should do the trick.
