I formatted this for submission to the bugs list, but it seems such a basic problem that I suspect it stems from my status as an absolute novice with linux--and so I'm posting here.
package: boot floppies version: linux 2.0.36 (kernel-image-2.0.36_2.0.36-3) arch: i386 (pentium I) model: IBM Thinkpad 760EL mem: 48MB card: 3com 3C574TX (16bit 10/100BASE-TX) When I try to boot from the rescue floppy (downloaded from the <http://www.debian.org/releases/slink/i386/ ch-install-methods.en.html#s-file-descs> area and written to floppy with rawrite2 in DOS), the install hangs after the following: boot: linux floppy=thinkpad Loading root.bin . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Loading linux . . . . . . . . . . . . . . _ (blinking) it should detect hardware at this point, yes? It does not (at least not in an hour or so), and no error messages appear. Sound familiar to anyone? BTW this model TP does not boot from CD Thanks In Advance Mike
