Hi Angus. You want to change root=/dev/ram bc if you try to tell the installer that the root fs is on your fat partition, bad things will happen. You first have to create ext2 filesystems on the drive for usr, var, root, and possibly home. Also, did you get one of the binary kernels and drivers.tgz and base2_2.tgz? Also, I would say the easiest way to get it working is mirror the directory structure of the ftp site on your d: drive in this case. You also need the files root.bin and rescue.bin did you get these? Explorer has caused a general protection fault in module kernel32.dll. I'm sick of Winblows!
