Hi, I followed the steps in the installation guide in accordance with doing a minimal install using all of the files in the bin.* set. The install runs just fine, it even finds my floppy drive. But when I go to commit changes and it tells me to put the floppy into the drive, I do, and hit enter then the install comes back with a message that it could not extract the bin package. I have the first disk ( after the boot that is) set up as follows: bin.inf bin.aa bin.ab bin.ac bin.ad bin.ae bin.af CHECKSUM.MD5 This is the disk that I insert when it is ready to begin extracting files. It cannot seem to extract anything from this disk. I formatted the disk and everything but still doesn't work. Now there is one thing that might be a problem, I am using Windows NT 4.0 and formatting from the cmd shell. Is that a potential problem? If not why doesnt it work?
