I am a first time installer of Debian Linux 2.0 with Win 98 on the
computer.
 
What to I enter when on the installation program so I can get Emacs, X
etc. when installing from
the Binary i386 CD  I read:

    Insert the CD Rom with the block device name:

I enter:

    /dev/hda3, (have tried /dev/hda4 & /dev/hda5 with similar results)

I get:

    Wrong FS type bad option and super block ON /dev/hda3



I am using a Pentium 2, 300 MHz, 64 Mb ram, 6.4 Gb HD and an IDE CD-Rom
on
the secondary (primary) IDE port.

Again, What to I enter when on program installation I read:

    Insert the CD Rom with the block device name:

--------------------------

Each physical drive gets its own device, for instance:

your first HD           /dev/hda
                        /dev/hda1 = first partition
                        /dev/hda2 = second partition

your second HD or CDROM /dev/hdb
        if your second hd is a cdrom there is only one partition.  Thus
        there is numberes following the drive.

I hope that this helps
