I suppose having only installed Redhat or Mandrake I figured Debian would also use rawrite with a *.img file to begin my installation. Unfortunately, I can't find such a file on the DEBIAN 3-cd set I downloaded and burned. The documentation on the cd's & online is more confusing than helpful. The writer seems to sway from rescue to install without regard to there being a difference. Can anyone help. And, yes, I know most systems today can boot from CD with the proper bios settings, but this system is old and doesn't provide this option.
