I'm trying to install vi floppy...arggg. I believe I configured 
everything correctly but when I'm prompted to insert the floppy for 
floppy drive unit A, I receive the following message:

"Couldn't extract the following distributions. This may be because 
they were not available on the installation media you've chosen: 

bin"

On the floppies, I have one directory /bin. In each directory I have 
five files, bin.aa -- and so on. They are formatted using the ms-dos 
format command. Did I do something incorrectly? Did I miss something?

Thanks!
