I'm trying to install Debian on an older system: 4GB drive; 32MB of Ram. The system has a network card and a floppy, so the most sensible way to install it would be to use network (Internet) install.
I've downloaded four floppy 1.44 images from unstable branch: boot.img cd-drivers.img net-drivers.img root.img However, the cd-drivers.img & net-drivers.img are giving me an error: EOF on net-drivers.img etc. I use the command to write the floppies: dd if=file.img of=/dev/fd0 bs=1024 conv=sync ; sync The images from testing branch from Jan. have their own problem relating to some incompatibility with gz compression and during installation error message in debootstrap.log "tar: unrecognized file type". Apparently this has been fixed with the March update but I'm stuck with that EOF error message. Can any body try to burn the cd-drivers.img & net-drivers.img from unstable to floppies and confirm it. Is it a bug? -- Joseph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
