Thanks for that The floppy disk controller did not work either, I recall clearly. I tried a PCI USB card, IDE CD, SCSI CD and putting the files on a second HDD. None of the storage was visible to the Debian installer. If this might have changed, I will happily try again with the new image. I spent quite a lot of time trying things. I cannot recall whether I dropped to a prompt, mounted the FDD by hand and then went back into the installer. Perhaps I'll try that. Anyway, I don't wan to clutter up the list with that, I'll just go and try it. Best wishes D./
