I cut the diskette twice. The second time, I formatted just to make
sure. I'm confident that this was not a diskette failure. The error
message appears in a popup: "The attempt to extract the Drivers Floppy
failed."
The machine is a Pentium 166MHz with 48MB of memory. There's an
NCR53x810 disk controlled in the box and a tulip driver net card. I'm
loading the modules so I can enable the network card.
