[H-GEN] Debian floppies for Saturday

G'day Paul,
I have an external cd rom on my old 486 lappie. It fits into a // port.
I will bring it along on Saturday, in case there is someone there that
knows how to make a boot disk that includes cd support thru // port.
I am almost certain this can be done
See you Saturday
Tony
