Hi all,

Has anyone got Debian on floppies that they can bring to the meeting
this Saturday?

I have an old Compac box that I want to set up with Debian but:
- It has no CD-ROM and I can't find the key combination to get to bios
tell it it has a CD anyway
- I have been trying to get the 1,44 images from the Debian site, the
rescue.bin worked fine but the root.bin can not be read once it is on
the floppy.

The box will be used as a file server that will mimic a NT box, so will
have SAMBA installed, it will also have apache, php, and mysql.

I have chosen Debian solely because that is what I have installed on the
only other 2 Linux boxes I have built (read very green), but if I can't
load debian I will have to look at other strains.

Thanks

Paul.
