Hello, I'm trying to install debian (Potato) in an old PC using floppy disks (I'm using disk images version 2.2.16-2000-07-14).
The PC boots up from the "rescue" disk, I hit <return> to proceed and after a few messages I'm asked to enter the "root" diskette. The PC reads this diskette and then enters the installation menus as expected. The problem is that while reading the root diskette I see a bunch of messages saying modprobe: Can't open dependencies file /lib/modules/2.2.17/modules.dep (no such file or directory) Back in the installation menus I want to mount from an NFS directory where the base system is available but for this I need the network drivers. If I choose the option "Configure Device Driver Modules" I get the error message (I press alt-F3 to see it) configured modules; modconf returned 32512 So, how are the system modules supposed to be loaded during the installation process? Thank you, -- Pedro
