[RULE] Problem with Slinky 0.3.96

[Richard Reiner]

I'm doing a floppy-only install of RH9 on a laptop (no CDROM) using 
Slinky 0.3.96.

I figured out how to get my PCMCIA network card up (i.e. mount the 
PCMCIA floppy, run setup-pcmcia from it, then edit 
/scripts/setup-network.sh and run /scripts/pcmcia.sh... note that the 
documentation at http://www.rule-project.org/article.php3?id_article=54 
doesn't give anything like an accurate description of this process).

I can then do an HTTP-based install, and everything seems to go well.  
I can see packages being installed, and everything looks good.

However, near the end of the process (when I am asked for a 
non-privileged username) things begin to visibly fail -- passwd can't 
be found, then lilo can't be found, and finally the result is a 
non-bootable system.

Any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

(Pls cc me directly on replies, as policy prevents me from subscribing

Thx!

Richard
