I'm attempting to install Debian onto my laptop. I know I need the tecra disk images, but I'm still having problems. So far I've:
Downloaded the files to a directory on my Win95 C: drive. I renamed resc1440tecra.bin to resc1440.bin and drv1440tecra.bin to drv1440.bin. I also guess that the ltecra file should overwrite the linux file, so I renamed ltecra to linux as well. When I reboot and execute install.bat, I get a locked up PC with a few chars of garbage. I took a guess that linux was having problems installing from my compressed C: drive, so I rebooted with a Win95 boot disk and tried again. This time, I got the A20 gate error. I'm confused, aren't the tecra images supposed to get around this? Or did I forget something? I checked the mailing lists, but all it said was: 1) Get a patch - but it doesn't say what the patch is - other than that is what the tecra disks are for and 2) build a new Zimage - a moot point since I can't even load Linux on the machine at this point. What's wrong?
