String "Some important data was not read from the floppy disks. You should
resolve this problem and re-install using valid floppy disks. If you
are installing from a CD-ROM, there are floppy-disk "image" files on
the CD, which you can write to a blank floppy using DOS, Windows, OS/2,
Unix or Linux. They should be in a directory on the CD called "dos"
or "disks".

Other things to try if you just can't get the floppies to install are
reformatting the floppies before writing them, and writing them using
a different system. Also, if you got the "image" files from a BBS or
Internet system and they are not working, download them again, and make
sure to use "binary" mode. If you are writing the floppies from Unix
or Linux, be sure to run the "sync" command before you remove each
floppy disk from the drive.

When I cd into utilies and make, I get past this point, but:

I don't think this is caused because I am running woody while trying to
build potato bf?
