Hi, all!
I want to make a suggestion. Many persons like me have only
a 14400 modem, without CDROM and/or sound-card. Here from
Brazil, the connection speed to ftp.debian.org is below
0.4 kbps. And the worst is that the other mirrors I tried,

Hi,
I'm trying to put debian on a new PC with a Buslogic Flashpoint LT SCSI
card in it. This card wasn't supported by the boot floppies I had so I
patched my kernel (2.0.27) and made a custom rescue disk with buslogic,
ramdisk, and initrd support compiled in. The boot disk recognizes the
card fine

You don't have to use cfdisk, but you _do_ have to wipe out the filesystem.
Various people have reported some success with installing Debian _over_
Slackware, but if you do that there will be files left behind from the old
system that will never be cleaned up, etc. We don't support upgrading on

There is no immediate need for repartitioning with cfdisk.

I am thinking about installing debian over slackware, but
I don't want to repartion the drive. The drive was partitioned
with the program used by slackware. I take it that one can
skip the `initialization' step and simply use the existing
partitions or is it advised that I repartition using

I have successfully installed the kernel and the base disks. Now, I want to

forced to install Slackware 3.0 on the machine in the interim (and

"rex" and "Debian-1.2" are two different names for the same directory.
