Wait, hold it - can you be more exact?  What happened when you booted
boot.flp, for example?  How did the dialing sequence die?  Or are you
saying that the partition editor gave you the "partition editor
failed" in either case and it has nothing whatsoever to do with
dialing your ISP?  What *are* you saying, exactly? :-)

Hmmmm.  And this is running off the boot floppy, not multi-user, yes?
I've never seen anything like this one..

Sure you can - it's the Distributions item.

I assume you mounted a /usr somewhere? :-)

Hmmm.  Looks like this may have been incorrectly transfered by your
FTP client - it got erroneously "dosified" :-)
