Hi,

Has anyone else reported problems when trying to install the 4.8-RELEASE
version booting from floppy disks and then installing via passive ftp ? I
tried it a number of time yesterday, each time the install returned 'write
errors' soon into the "bin" extract, and when I checked using 'df' on the
emergency shell, it had filled up the small memory disk rather than writing
to the real disks mounted under /mnt/...

I've now "back-tracked" and installed 4.7-RELEASE using the same mechanisms
on the same two machines and they work without any problems (as ever).

regards,

Mark Redding.
