Installing slink from a Zip drive
One of the nice things about installing hamm was that I could do it with
one floppy and a zip drive. So I was really looking forward to putting
slink on a couple of new boxes which are, as far as possible, MS-free.
So I partitioned a disk, got to "Install Operating System Kernel and
Modules", popped over to VC2 and tried to mount my zip drive.
"sdb4 not a block device". Looked at VC4: only 1 scsi host (my
empty hard drive).
After saying how easy it was, here I am with a very red face.
Do I have to go back to pumping floppies (9 now!) to install slink.
This is a big step backwards.
