Debian's boot disks appear to be relatively simple to hack and since the whole thing can be ftp'd I shouldn't need to make another coaster (gotta love easy cd creator.). So I just need to figure out how on earth I'm going to get the disks hacked. It also doesn't help that my floppy drive will do a quck format but not a full format. So that isn't too good either as i don't know if it'll properly write the images. Ack this is messy.... It's worth all the trouble I think though. I didn't mean to cause any trouble but dang it I just can't stand the "This program has generated errors. You will need to restart the program. Blah blah blah.) IE is particularly bad for that. Just tryin to get some work done here and I need another OS so if somebody wants to tell me how I can manage to hack a boot disk so I can boot up then I'm good. The trouble is that I don't have another box to use as a terminal or i coudl have rigged something already. I feel kind of helpless here because I can't even compile brltty without a running system. If I could figure out why my floppy drive was messed up that would help too. Thansk to all of you for offering advice and suggestions and things. You can learn a lot from a list like this. I at least now know what the heck I have to do but I just have to figure out how to get it done...Thanks a lot though....I will see what I can figure out here. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janina Sajka" To: Sent: Sunday, January 13, 2002 8:21 AM Subject: Re: Had enough with windows....going insane.....need advice > Wait a minute, you're the guy who asked about software speech.
