I got all the *1440.bin files but I booted successfully both times having the base2_0.tgz file on a msdos partition. That way you only have to download resc1440.bin and drv1440.bin and make two floppies. (you read how to do that?)assuming there is a base2_0.tgz on the cd you can copy to /dev/hda1 or wherever. It took me a while to figure out how to find the partition in the dinstall program and you have to remember to mount it.
I guess its pretty frustrating the cd won't run; A little creativity with the installation should do the trick. ac > Hi, > > I've been running Red Hat 5.2 for a while and now want to try out > Debian. > > To that end, I purchased the user guide which came with 2.0 cd. > > I am installing on a ThinkPad 600.
