The way I installed Debian, i burned a debian cd and i had to use the smartbootmgr.dsk file found on the slackware ftp site. I used the gui version of rorite to write this file to a floppy. This writing to a floppy was done on a windows xp computer, the computer i wanted to install Debian on was a pentium 1 old crap machine i had here. The issue i was having with my bios is any cd's wouldn't boot but floppies would, if you figure out what i'm talking about, maybe this might work for you, it worked for me, when you get the disk written you go down five times with your cursor down key and you should land on the boot from cd option. after booting the floppy on1/14/2006BlindTech of BlindTechs.Net said for one its twelve years in computer technology in general. not linux. because the linux (and/or gnu) was not avalable to the blind just yet as we know it. so stop misspeaking something you miscommunicate.
