I've never installed Debian but I know in slakware you need to make a root disk. This is perhaps what you are missing. You make a root disk the same way you made the others with rawrite. Look for root.bin or something like it in your distribution. Then after it's done with the boot disk put the root disk in. -Marc On Thu, 30 Oct 1997, Brian Reich wrote: > I am having trouble installing the Linux Debian Distribution.
