So now i'm able to figure out that the error messages want to tell me=20 something about some segfault in some mv_ at an address=20 4 but the lines still scroll by to fast to make an "offline pr= int=20 screen" and take them down to post them here in full length. Iv've downloaded the floppy disk images for i386 and stuffed them onto 3 = 144=20 floppies using dd. The floppies were moved in full length no dd error , a= ll=20 blocks were copied. So what to do to get ge arround the segfault. cu Chris
