Hai
I am trying to install 3.3 release on a 486 machine with 32MB RAM, 500MB
hard disk capacity. Since it doesn't have a CD-ROM drive, I am trying to
install using floppies. i have prepared boot floppies viz. kern.flp and
mfsroot.flp. I have also prepared floppies for installation of
distributions. I started with 'bin' distribution.
When I am trying to install using floppy, i get the folowing message:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
'Couldnt extract the following distribution. This may be because they
were not available on the installation media you've chosen:
bin doc manpages proflibs dict info
---------------------------------------------------------------------
I formatted my floppy for a UFS using the sequence of commands fdformat,
disklabel and newfs, and then i copied bin.aa, bin.ab, bin.ac,....into
A:\bin
Could you please help me with this problem ? Anticipating a reply at
the earliest, I remain.
Thanks
