Comments/Problems: Had to use floppies to install. boot.img,
root.img, and net-drivers.img were used. Installer didn't prompt
for cd-drivers.img. Install went smooth. Did not give
opportunity to configure the network manually. DHCP was used
without error. Installed gnome-desktop without errors however
gnome-terminal does not have a prompt. It lays still with a cursor
but no commands can be run.
<Description of the install, in prose, and any thoughts, comments
and ideas you had during the initial
install.>
It would be nice to be able to
boot from floppies then switch to CD once booted up. This did not
happen for me. Overall things went smoothly however as mentioned
above, I have no bash prompt or any prompt at all in
gnome-terminal. Thanks for the great work on the new install
process. It is very slick.
