Try again?'. I have on the floppy, the files 'install.sh', 'bin.inf', 'bin.aa', 'bin.ab', 'bin.ac', 'bin.ad', and 'bin.ae'. The troubleshooting guide and all the other documentation I could find didn't help me out at all. What's the problem here? How do I fix it? =20 Where are bin.af through to bin.fg? :-) Are you following the directions for installing from floppy in the handbook?
