What do you really want? If you're trying to install a machine without network access, you can acquire a Debian CD set; even if you can't boot from the CD, the floppy images are on the CD. If you're trying to hack on the Debian installer, you want to look at the boot-floppies package (and quite possibly subscribe to the debian-devel and debian-boot lists). If you want to build your own rescue/recovery disk, you can install a kernel directly on to a floppy, or use one of the rescue-disk kits out there; you might look at the Bootdisk-HOWTO in the doc-linux-text package or on http://www.linuxdoc.org/. -- David Maze [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://people.debian.org/~dmaze/ "Theoretical politics is interesting.
