Hi there,
  I have just been trying to install 3.5-release but have hit a signal
4 error. (see blow for details)

The hardware I am using has got a correctly installed 3.5-RELEASE
installed on a separate Hard Disk, installed from the same floppies.
The only difference being that the successfully installed 3.5 is on a
quantum 4.3 GB disk while I was  using a 6.4GB Maxtor when it failed.
(I wanted a second installation so that I could play around with some
hardware. The only hard disks I have are the two I am trying to use.)

Any other information useful just ask. I have a cp.core file I should
be able to get if this helps.

TIA

Roger Bacon

  Using the minimal install and looking at VTY1 output I get
