Installing the Debian system requires you to make two floppy disks. One
is called resc1440.bin which is a rescue disk and the other is called
drv1440.bin which is the drivers disk. On a Windows or DOS system you
need the rawrite2.exe which will make a bootable floppy of the disk
image. All of these can be obtained from
ftp://ftp.debian.org/debian/dists/slink/main/disks-i386/current/
Also in this directory there is good reading about how to install a
Debian distribution.
