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.
