Debian installation


Hi,

I am new to Linux and trying to install Debian on an old Dell machine. The machine has:

CPU i486
Memory 16Mb
HDD 340Mb - IDE
No CD Rom Drive
NO Network card
No Modem
Running MS DOS

I downloaded required files and created a rescue and a root floppy using RAWRITE. When I try to boot, it gives message “Boot Failed”.

Any help will be appreciated.

TIA,
Harsham
