Re: Problems with Frozen
I had no trouble with the base disks but I created them from another
system running Linux using dd.
The important thing is to use FRESHLY FORMATTED diskettes. Do not
overwrite a diskette with stuff on it. Use MS-DOS to format the diskette
and then use rawrite.
It is the boot disk (resc1440.bin) that I had trouble with. Grab the one
out of stable/disks-i386/current/rsc1440.bin (note rsc vs. resc) and run
that as far as creating and initializing the partitions, then put in the
diskette from frozen and select reboot system from the installation menu
and start over again with the frozen rescue drive.
It worked well for me and I am installing via FTP using dselect as I type
this.
