Re: Base Installation problems.
I had the same problem trying a harddisk install of slink (from scratch). It
kept giving me the file error (and the floppy install of the base didn't
work well either). I just got a new version of base2_1.tgz from the ftp
site, and it worked fine. See if you can do that, as that might be the
easiest solution.
