Hi!

Debian 3.0 CD3 uses a 2.4.18 boot kernel, so you can install under 2.4. 

Why put this on CD3 instead of CD1? There are far more 2.4 users than
2.2 users out there.  Installing Debian using the standard practice
(starting with CD1 and moving up) is kind of like installing windows 95
and upgrading as you go.  But either way, why not go with 2.4.20?

Put CD1 in CD-ROM drive.
Boot computer
Wait for prompt
type: bf24<ENTER>

And install a 2.4 kernel based Debian system, which includes ext3/reiserfs
partitions. It's there in the help text, one F-key away.

Groetjes,
Peter Busser
