Problem installing Debian

Funny you mention problems with the Debian floppies. I did briefly  
attempt to use the floppies and couldn't get them to speak on boot  
either. I noticed it didn't really give any errors on the screen  
according to my wife, but nor did it come up speaking with the normal  
linux speakup_synth=synthname. I thought perhaps I had some bad  
floppy images and I hadn't had time to dig into this further. Perhaps  
there is a problem with the images?
