A few questions.

I have a few questions about installing Debian Linux 2.0 (NOTE: I am using the Debian CD, and am currently running Windoze 98):   1. When I run the boot.bat file it always says that I don't have enough memory available. I find this odd, considering that I have 256MB of RAM.   2. I

Thanks for the info, but I think you over looked a few items. The reason I want to upgrade to potato is, I installed x11amp, which required newer libs than slink uses. This has broken apt. I've seen this problem mentioned before and the recommended fix was to upgrade to potato. Also, my video car
