Re: installation problem

["Serena Peters" <speters@ulg.ac.be>]

So I try to install debian with a CD-ROM

I´ve just make partition on my hard disk and all the partition are mounted !
So during the installation, the software propose to install the operating
system kernel and modules.
When I have "Select Installation Medium", I choose /cdrom which is on
/dev/hdc.
After that, the following message : "Path where Debian archive reside
/debian", and after "list : Choose from a list of All Archives Paths" ...
When I accept the path, after 1 minute, I receive the following error :
FLOPPY ERROR : The attempt to extract the drivers floppy failed !

Serena,

you should describe more detail, what you are doing. The obvious question
for
me is here:

Are you stuck with the rescue disk?

Are you installing from a CDROM?

What are the last message which appear on the screen?

I think then people should be able to help you.
