If I am addressing the question that you were trying to pose
correctly, then the answer would
be this: There is simply no need to do an installation from floppy
disks. If you have a network connection
then you need only a base setup ie: boot floppies, then you may proceed
with an enitre installation. If you do-not have a network connection
there there is no real point in installing unix anyway. Unix is a
networked OS. It is designed and maintained as a newtworked operating
environment. It has and offers services that are designed to connect
machines to one another. Possessing a unix machine without an
internet/intranet connection is as exciting and useful as a moped.
