Thank you At the very least, you'll need a boot disk, a root disk and the bin distribution (bin.aa, etc). A slightly tricky point is that you'll need to put root.flp in a directory called 'floppies' and the bin files in a directory called 'bin', as the installation program assumes the files are in the same directory tree as on the FTP site. If you're connected when you install it, you can actually save yourself a bit of messing around with floppies, BTW. Just download the boot floppy, boot up and use the FTP installation facility.
