Hello Edward,

 EL> What files must I download from http://www.debin.org ?

You'll need to download the files from their "disks-i386"
directory to start off with.  You need seven disks:

    The rescue disk
    The device driver disk
    The base installation, disks 1-5.

Sorry I can't remember the filenames, but they should be identified by
description at Debian's web site.  You'll also need "Rawrite" in
order to write these zipped files onto floppy disks.  And you'll need a
blank floppy disk to use as a boot disk.

Once you have this installed, you'll have a very basic working Linux
system. From this point you can install packages from .deb (Debian package)
files and .tar.gz's.  You can also use the "dselect" program to
select packages to install; this keeps track of dependencies for you, and
is also capable of installing packages directly from ftp sites (you'll need
to download PPP for this).
