If you're just doing bin then make sure that your files are on the floppies in a dir called bin (in order too: aa, ab, ac etc...). Also make sure bin.inf is on the first disk in the bin dir. If you want to do any others (eg: manpages) then put manpages.inf in a dir manpages on the last bin diskette. I've never tried installing from a dos partition so am unable to give you any help there.
