>Description:
It was not clear that I _had_ to have the first installation disk have the files bin.inf, then bin.aa, etc.
I had the bin.inf on the first disk along with bin.mtree, checksum.md5 and install.sh;  and the second disk had the bin.aa, bin.ab etc..
I tried installing from the first disk but of course it wouldn't work.
It took me an hour to figure out that bin.aa actually had to follow the bin.inf..  You have it in the documentation, but it doesn't say that the order is significant..

Thanks.
