My understanding is (more from windoze than linux) that installing on one hrd drv and using it in a diff system is a bad idea, lots of different hardware / configurations, unless you both have identical systems

My friend has given me his HD to install Debian onto it, and I hooked it up and partitioned already. I would like to do an FTP install for him without losing my productivity (read: without booting off a floppy). Is it possible to simply mount whatever floppy image I need off /dev/fd0 and run the installation program? If so, what is the program's name? If anyone has had experience with doing this, I would appreciate any suggestions. -- Arcady Genkin http://www.thpoon.com Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
