You only need to down load ONE floppy. If you are impatient with your reading you may run into trouble later. The instructions are important. ONE and ONLY ONE floppy. You already have that floppy. Boot it on the computer you want to do the install on. Now if that computer that you want to do the installation on does not have a modem then you must get either the floppies or the CD or put a modem in that computer. Depending on how large of a distribution you want to get, you may need to use 50-100 floppies. The floppies that you need to download are listed in the install instructions on the website. Yes. Floppy install is time consuming. It is provided as a last resort for people with no other way to install. Thank you, | Try some of this. It will show you where you're at.
