I'm not all that new to the Linux thing, but I want to install Debian 2.1
onto a 2.1 gig hard drive and be able to keep my other OS (sadly, Win98)
until I can burn all my stuff to disc and convert my other HDD (8.6GB) to
ext2. In any case, I'd just like to know how I can partition it correctly

Hello all --
I am installing 2.1 onto an old 486 which does not have a
CD-Rom. I have a Backpack CD-Rom (parallel port) which I would like to
use, but cannot figure out how... Kernel and base have been successfully
installed with floppies, but the Backpack is not being recognized, and I

Ok am new to the list but I have a few questions. I am completely new to
Linux and I decided to install Debian 2.1 using the book Learning Debian by
Bill McCarty I think, pretty good book it seems. Well anyway I opted for
the standard workstation install that was about 400 and some odd megabytes.

This is not a bitch, just curious.
I notice changes to slink on ftp.debian.org but the symlinks still say
2.1r4 which could mean that the updates are not all there yet. I would
guess that a 2.1r5 release is happening here.
Does anyone who knows for sure care to post something to this list? Are
