I have downloaded the boot.flp and fdimage files from the web page and I tried to follow the directions. The PC does not have a CD-ROM, so I attempted to do the installation using a 3.5" 1.44M floppy. When I completed the installation, I rebooted the system and it says "Can't find kernel". I also received a message that said that it could not find the boot.cfg or boot.hlp. I know I have really botched it up, but several attempts at the installation always lead back to the same situation. Where am I going wrong?
