memtest86 for Debian -------------------- Binary image is /boot/memtest86.bin To run the tester you'll need to setup your bootloader (see examples/lilo.conf for LILO), or to make a boot-floppy, and reboot on this image. This is the last DFSG-compliant version of this software, upstream has opted for a proprietary development model starting with 5.0. You may want to consider using memtest86+, which has been forked from an older version, and is also available in Debian. The make-memtest86-boot-floppy utility will help you to create a boot floppy or floppy image using grub-legacy. You may prefer to use the prebuilt ISO shipped by the memtest86+ package. -- Yann Dirson , Tue, 10 Mar 2015 21:17:12 +0100
