-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Well, if you did what you described, then windows is in fact gone, and the message you're getting is in fact from the system bios. I don't understand what you mean when you say you want to install debian over windows 98, there is no such thing. You either install win98, or debian, but you can't install one over the other. If you want win98 on your system, then you'll have to reinstall it now, or restore a backup if you took the time to make one. If you want to install debian, then you'll need to get rid of the fat32 partition, and repartition the drive with a linux partition, and linux swap would be recommended too. If you're going to install debian, then take the time to read the extensive documentation for it at http://www.debian.org. This applies to any gnu/linux distribution, not just debian. Also, the installation procedure varies from distro to distro, so don't expect that just because you now know how to install debian, that you'll also be able to install slackware, fedora, ETC. in the same way. What you know about how debian installs may make it easier for you to install another distribution, but that's not a substitute for the other distro's documentation. Gnu/linux isn't windows, where you can expect to just pop the install cd in, and be installing it in 30 seconds without ever having read a manual.

I did format c: /u, and things went good. now, when I take the disk out, I get diskett error, and I hit escape to continu, and it asks for a system disk, and won't do a thing until I have a system disk. It looks as if windows 98 isn't totally gone. Is there a way to get rid of this? I tried to find where in my bios that it was that you would set the drie boot order, dac I think it was, and... still no luck there either. > Thanks, > _______________________________________________ > Speakup mailing list > Speakup at braille.uwo.ca > http://speech.braille.uwo.ca/mailman/listinfo/speakup - -- web site: http://www.romuald.net.eu.org gpg public key: http://www.romuald.net.eu.org/pubkey.asc skype: gregn1 (authorization required, add me to your contacts list first) - -- Free domains: http://www.eu.org/ or mail dns-manager at EU.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQFDyVbz7s9z/XlyUyARAm60AKDLxUbqvO7OCj4tKovKe3aOJRVlLwCgze2P HtSlNIz3EMAG5hNGo/YQxkA= =KYiA -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
