I'm trying to do an install on a 486dx/33 w/ no
CDROM, using 3.5" floppies. I did a rawrite2 of resc1440.bin to boot and
repartition. When it came time for the kernel
install, I can't find the requisite files. It
asks for a rescue floppy, which I thought this was, but the installer is asking
for other media. I have read of a drivers floppy (drv1440.bin) and some
base file floppies (base14-1.bin, ...14-2.bin, etc. on thru 14-7.bin), but can't
find them on the CD which accompanied the O'Reilly GNU/Linux book I picked
up. This is kernel 2.0.36, which I realize is kinda old, but so is my
system. I just want a dedicated linux box that I can poke around on and
get command happy, and all for now.
I went to the Debian.org site, tried an ftp site,
but got messages saying I didn't have "permission".
I guess I could go and get a CDROM and try an
install that way, but don't think the BIOS is up to that (AMI circa
1993).
Trolling about for ideas,
