Package: boot-floppies
Version: i386/2.1.9-1999-03-03
architecture: i386
model: CBM Computer Systems
memory: 16MB
I chose 'Installing from a DOS partition'.
Was able to partition hard disk with 'cfdisk.'
DOS partition: Boot, Primary, 1.9GB
Linux partition: Boot. Logical, 120MB
Linux swap partition: Logical, 32MB
When I got to Install Operation System Kernel and Modules part, I specified
harddisk as the source and the program was able to locate the directory where
the files are but then gave me the message: "Cannot read /floppy/type.txt:
invalid argument" , and won't let me go on.....
I activated 'ash' (Alt-F2), and check to see if such file exist and I saw it.
But I could not open it with edit command (access denied). There was a
type.txt in the root directory and I was able to open this one with edit......
Spent all day today. and I feel like I almost there....
Would appreciate your help.
- Thanks
