CD-ROM booting is one of the easiest ways to install. Not all machines can
boot directly from the CD-ROM so you may still need to use floppies.
Booting from floppies is supported for most platforms. Floppy booting is
described in section 2.4.2 on page [*].

Installing from a CD-ROM

If your system supports booting from a CD-ROM, you don't need any
floppies. Put the CD-ROM into the drive, turn your computer off, and then
turn it back on. You should see a Welcome screen with a boot prompt at the
bottom. Now you can skip down to section 2.5.

If your computer didn't ``see'' the Debian CD-ROM, the easiest option is
to make two floppies for booting (described in section 2.4.2) and then use
them to start Debian. Don't worry; after Debian is finished with those two
floppies, it will find your CD-ROM with no trouble.

Booting from Floppies

It's not hard at all to boot from floppies. In fact, your CD-ROM contains
all the information necessary to create boot disks for you. For these
instructions, you will need to get two disks. Label the first one ``Debian
2.1 Install/Rescue Disk'' and the second ``Debian 2.1 Modules/Drivers
Disk.''

Creating Floppies from Disk Images

Disk images are files containing the complete contents of a floppy disk in
raw form. Disk images, such as resc1440.bin, cannot simply be copied to
