When the program starts installing from the floppy, there is a message that reads," Couldn't extract the following distributions because they were not available on the installation media you,ve chosen: bin". However, my floppies have the directory "bin" along with the files(ie. bin. aa, bin.ab etc) in the bin directory yet the installation can't "detect" this. I am using the v3.0 SNAP ver. Any help would be most appreciated, Gordon gwong@ionsys.com
