Well I reluctantly got some sighted assistance to see what my problem is during the install. The boot disk took 4 minutes 34 seconds to get to the root floppy install prompt. My Doubletalk LT did not start talking until the prompt appeared and then it read all of the messages up to the prompt. I installed the root floppy and pressed enter and got the following results. vfs: insert root floppy and press enter. vfs: insert root floppy and press enter vfs: mounted root (minix file system) read only. freeing unused kernel memory: 112k freed attempt to access beyond end of device 02:1c: rw=0, want=2547, limit=1440 dev 02:1c blksize=1024 blocknr=2546 sector=5092 size=1024 count=1 attempt to access beyond end of device 02:1c: rw=0, want=2018, limit=1440 dev 02:1c blksize=1024 blocknr=2017 sector=4034 size=1024 count=1 init: error in loading shared libraries: libc.so.6: can not open shared object file:input/output error This computer is an IBM Aptiva 275 mhz Pentium 32 MB RAM Please help.
