README for Debian 2.1 CD installation.
======================================
To boot the installation system from CD, you will need to insert
either CD#1 or CD#2 in your CD-ROM drive and reboot.
CD#1 contains a normal kernel that should work for most people and
contains many drivers.
CD#2 is a smaller system based on the "tecra" kernel - this is smaller
because it has fewer drivers compiled in to avoid a known problem with
large kernels on laptops, especially the Toshiba Tecra series.
If your system will not boot from CD, there are other options:
1.Boot a DOS system with CD drivers, then run boot.bat from the
\install direcory on the first CD.
2.Make boot floppies from the images on the first CD, in the directory
\dists\stable\main\disks-i386\current. The program rawrite2.exe in
that directory will write the floppy images under DOS. e.g.
d: (change to the CD drive)
cd \dists\stable\main\disks-i386\current
rawrite2 -f resc1440.bin -d a: (a: is the 1.44 MB floppy drive)
See \install\install.txt for more information, and \README.multicd for
last-minute information about the multi-cd installation method.
