Another update I'm booting from the floppy, as this machine won't boot from the cd. The light on the diskette never goes off and the install program won't see the driver diskette. I'm assuming that the boot floppy is mounted or something and it's not unmounting it so I can change diskettes. When prompted to insert the driver disk and hit ok, the drive never reads the diskette, at least it doesn't make any sound. It works the same if I enter "linux dd" at the boot prompt, it just happens earlier in the install process. Help, Mr. Wizard. Thanks, Joe Trent On Fri, 2002-10-25 at 09:51, Joe D.
