Well we're down to a single drive now....and partitioned according to
scripts..
Got the floppu thing sorted out....had a bad download...and a few bad
floppies...
Install fails right after mounting CD....says 'rpm not found'
Tried w/ 16M and 32M.....no joy either time....seems like the machine
doesen't have time to read or search the disk just before it craps....is
that possible???
To make sure this wasn't a hardware issue...I had installed RH7.2 (full
install; less KDE) just day before yesterday on this machine. Took about
an hour till I was on the net with it...
Later...G
