I'm a week or three late replying to this message, but I just thought I'd
put in my two bits on the issue. I don't know if my experience will be of
any help to anyone but I'll do a brain dump nonetheless.
I successfully installed Debian Potato on a Proliant 2500 with a pair of
Compaq Smart 2/P PC
rtition to Lilo as "F10" in order to be able to access it!!
(Just ruined another compRaq on that one)

Kenneth,
Unfortunately I am unable to transfer drives due to the nature of the
the hardware. I may try to transfer the disks to the partitioned drive
though like you mentioned. I think I can get to the command line
by hitting Alt+F4. Thanks for your help.

I installed slink on my 486. 210mb hd and 12 mgs ram, from floppy. I was
trying to
install slack, but just couldn't get it to work, so I tried debian and all went
fine.
If you are making the floppies from windoz, as I did, it is important to do so
from dos,

I think I can help you. I was trying to install Debian on a Dell 466L,

Have tried numerous disks, with no luck, thanks for the tip tho, It
irritates me that the comp wouldn't recognize a backpack cd player
