I have a dual-boot computer with another linux distribution on it. I intend to install sarge using my GRUB bootloader, downloading everything over the network and overwriting the other distribution.
I think this section of the installation guide applies to me. http://www.us.debian.org/./releases/stable/i386/ch05s01.html.en#boot-initrd 5.1.2. Booting from Linux Using LILO or GRUB To boot the installer from hard disk,Section 4.5, "Preparing Files fore Hard Disk Booting"s described in [9]Section 4.5, "Preparing Files for Hard Disk Booting". If you intend to use the hard drive only for booting and then download everything over the network, you should download the netboot/debian-installer/i386/initrd.gz file and its corresponding kernel. This will allow you to repartition the hard disk from which you boot the installer, although you should do so with care. But all the debian mirrors I have looked in don't have any vmlinuz with initrd.gz. There is only pxelinux, which I think is a different type of network boot. There are cd-rom and hd-media vmlinuz's but no netboot ones. Should I actually be choosing the hd-media vmlinuz and initrd.gz, rather than the netboot ones? -- Dr Bean The teacher as the monkey in the works.
