I made 15 floppies using the fdformat, disklabel, and newfs commands to make the floppies, then i mouted it on /stiffy and proceeded to copy all of the files in the /cdrom/bin directory to the floppies in the order they are listed under xfm filemanager, so no problem there. i verified that any disk that showed an E when it was formatted got the big AXE and made a new one. heres my problem, i boot using the boot disk and select visual config mode and then select custom install, i then select the first line that says [ ] binary (required) it proceeds to making the slices and then prompts for the first floppy i put it in and it lights up the floppy led and just sits there, forever! got any clues? please respond directly i am no on list. kf7nn@airmail.net
