I installed Debian 1.3.1 even without any floppy (one actually, the boot disk created after the install to boot the new system) Just booted from CD and all went quite easy. If your system didn't support IDE/ATAPI-CDROM boot, you only need the first (rescue) floppy, the drivers disk is on the CD. Someone told me there are far more rpm-packages available, and other distributions also use rpm. What's true about that?
