I don't know how stable the woody boot-floppies are. Maybe it would be
the safest way, that you install a normal potato system and them
upgrade your kernel. There have been some notes how to use 2.4 in
potato on this list. 

Do you really need reiserfs in the boot-floppies? You could make /boot
ext2 and the rest could be reiserfs.

Help installing debian first time

2001-02-12 Thread Tobias Hahn
Hi! 

I purchased a new computer and I would like to install debian on it. If
possible, I would like to install kernel 2.4. Is this possible from the
beginning of the installation? If not so, is there a way to build custom
boot cds/floppies containing at least reiserfs?

I am new to Debian but not to Linux, so don't be afraid to get
technical.

Thanx!

Tobias
