Yup! and thanks.

Now, I am trying to get the base floppies to extract:

I get:
usr/doc/sysklogd : is a directory
star : no such file or directory

I have not initialised my swapfile or linux partition.

I selected the "mount previous" options in both cases.

To date a couple of information windows have flashed past
too quickly to read, and I do not want to initialise my
existing Linux partition until I am sure the rest of
the installation will go OK.

TIA
