I'm happy to hear the oldworld keyboard problem will soon be fixed.
In the meantime, I've been scratching my head wondering how I can manage to
install Debian on my NewWorld iMac 350, unless I get a CD. I was sort of
avoiding buying a CD because I wanted to learn more about how the whole

Hi. I'm trying to install (via floppy) Debian Potato onto my 2 processor
SPARCstation 20, and I'm getting some weird errors. It boots with the
rescue image, and I get up to "Install Operating System Kernel and Modules"
before I get this error (on inserting the driver-1.bin image from
ftp.debian.
I'm attempting to pull the boot-floppies CVS tree and I'm getting
problems:

Hi,
