We have downloaded the disk images several times (from various FTP sites) and we can boot of the disk made from boot.flp and everything goes fine. We eventually choose proceed and even later get asked to reboot from the hard drive - when we do this we get greeted by the boot manager and no matter what option is chosen it just brings up the boot manager again. We don't have a chance to feed it the cpio disk. We want to FTP the main distribution if we can get further (we have FTP access but perhaps the fact that we don't have any of the other files available to the installer is causing problems?). Thanks, Andrew Andrew@micksquadra.its.utas.edu.au -- Everyone smiles as you drift past the flowers That grow so incredibly high.... (LSDSPLHCBTB)
