Ok, I tried to install the same file from the same Debian CD using the same procedure and even the same GRUB disk on a third (!!!) computer (this one PIII 450).
And ... it worked ! I'm not desperate anymore about seeing the system boot for the first time, but I still don't know what to do with the two other puters. If someone has an idea about what went wrong (definitely not the menu.lst), thanks to make me know ... PR __________________________________ Yahoo!
