After a fair bit of trouble we have got to the stage of inserting the CPIO disk. I am trying to install the bindist files however we can't do it by FTP because of a problem with initializing interface ed0. All the files are residing on F drive (a network drive on a novell net server) but there dosn't seem to be an option for that (not that I'm suprised). I tried downloadind all the bindist.* files to floppy but that caused an error as there was no check sum file. I put that on the floppy but it didn't help. Any ideas?
