Version: 2.2.16-2000-07-14
In order not to get into even more floppy disk problems I copied
base2_2.tgz and drivers.tgz to the harddisk. After installing the
kernel from the rescue disk I get:
"The drivers are being installed from the first floppy drive."
<OK> <Cancel>
After I hit <Cancel> I got
"Floppy error"
<Continue>
I doubt it was a floppy error but a dbootstrap error...
After that the next step is calculated but the munched background
is not restored.
Regards,
Joey
