floppy install problems
You might try coping the files to floppies that have
been formated on the target machine's drive. Or
transfer the target machine's floppy drive to the
machine doing the copying and then move it back to the
tarket machine. Methinks floppy interchange may be a
problem.
----------------------------------------------------
To all,
I have tried to install Debian from floppy disks
several times on an
old IBM 486 ps2 machine. The machine boots fine with
the rescue
disk fine. The point at which the install fails is
during the mounting
of the rescue disk to continue with the base install.
I have made
several new rescue floppys thinking it may be the
media. I have
only chosen to install from floppy because the machine
has no
cdrom and only one isa slot for expansion. It does
have a 300 mb
hard and 8 mb of ram. Thanks for any help in advance.
