Better still, use a mirror of ftp.debian.org that's nearby to you.
If you have a cd with debian, that's even faster.

Evening listers,
I was wondering if anyone could send me a copy of their

but it doesn't seem to be closing cleanly, as I don't have this script
installed. Without a basic script to start from, my skills leave me at a
loss.

The Linux driver seems to have problems with some floppy drives. I suggest
you write the floppies from another PC. You should, by the way, be able to
set any of the first 4 partitions on the first hard drive to be "active"
and boot from it.

It's in the admin section.

After booting the PC, the syslogd daemon is permanently in the run

and start it by hand with "/sbin/syslogd", the syslogd now sleeps.
