Hi,

I recently decided to upgrade to 2.1.5. For various reasons I need to 
do a floppy install. With previous versions this has been no big 
drama.

For version 2.1.5 the required floppy layouts is very strange. For 
example:

    bin.inf must be placed on the first bin distribution disk

    info.inf must be placed on the last bin distribution disk

    manpages.inf must be placed on the info distribution disk.

I don't want to mix distributions, so I have been extracting each 
manually. I would prefer to be able to do it in one hit.

Has anyone managed to do a floppy install and what disk layouts did 
they use? I seem to remember some discussion on this matter previously,
 but I can't seem to find the relevant mail messages in the archive.

Regards Richard ...
