As for the other problems, choosing both everything and custom to be installed, it won't install info, ssbase, ssbin, ssecure and XFree86 even though it was supposed to install it, I had to manually extract it. Another problem is /etc/fstab has the dos partition mounted before the root partition which doesn't work since the root partition isn't even mounted yet. That's about the problems that I've experienced from the 6/4/95 floppes.... I did the installation from my DOS Partition. Hope this helps. I'll be helping Tom <pit@mail.nws.orst.edu> with the installation with the correct instructions and see if it gets anywhere.
