I can't use the ISO image because my link is too slow to download it and I don't have a CD burner. I could probably try to netboot it if somebody gave me step-by-step instructions. I've never netbooted anything before. A question: if the floppy had read errors, would they be detected and reported? I.e., is it worthwhile to try a different diskette?
