What was the original error message or problem? 2. Did you look at the ALT-F2 debug console immediately after receiving the error? What did it say? 3. Have you tried other installation methods, such as by CDROM, FTP, or NFS? Floppy installs take a long time and are prone to errors (since they depend on error-prone media).
