I have downloaded the files with an ftp client through Windows 95. I followed your install instructions and started the install from a DOS partition. The install went fine until it got to about 31%. At that point I got a write error. I downloaded the files again, thinking one might be bad. The same thing happened again. I then decided to just install the /bin directory from floppies. To make a long story short, when I get to the disk which has bin.as through bin.ax, I get a write error at 31%. Am I missing something? I formatted the floppies per your instructions. I would love to get this thing running! Any help you could offer would be greatly appreciated! Thanks -Wade
