If it is 2.2.1 then I recommend: First remake your boot.flp - your problem could be here. You may want to try installinging the binaries first, do your post configure and then boot the new system. If this fails, consider floppy install. * Remember to format your floppies with whatever you are using for file copy and to create a \bin directory on each floppy. (15 1.44MB floppies) Login, su to root, and /stand/sysinstall and enter post install and add the distributions that you want. Good luck. _______________________________________ |\ /| | \ kevin_eliuk@sunshine.net / | | \ Kevin G.
