README for Debian 2.1 CD installation.
3
======================================
5
To boot the installation system from CD, you will need to insert
6
either CD#1 or CD#2 in your CD-ROM drive and reboot.
8
CD#1 contains a normal kernel that should work for most people and
11
CD#2 is a smaller system based on the "tecra" kernel - this is smaller
12
because it has fewer drivers compiled in to avoid a known problem with
13
large kernels on laptops, especially the Toshiba Tecra series.
15
If your system will not boot from CD, there are other options:
17
1.Boot a DOS system with CD drivers, then run boot.bat from the
18
\install direcory on the first CD.
20
2.Make boot floppies from the images on the first CD, in the directory
21
\dists\stable\main\disks-i386\current. The program rawrite2.exe in
22
that directory will write the floppy images under DOS. e.g.
24
d: (change to the CD drive)
25
cd \dists\stable\main\disks-i386\current
26
rawrite2 -f resc1440.bin -d a: (a: is the 1.44 MB floppy drive)
29
See \install\install.txt for more information, and \README.multicd for
30
last-minute information about the multi-cd installation method.
