Re: Installing Linux 2.0



Did you create a second partition on this disk? Is the partition something
other than "unformatted"? You need to make sure that these two conditions
exist for a succesful install. The second partition need not be more than
128MB (thats all the linux kernel uses) but it must be unformatted when you
run the install program from the rescue disk.
