I have a Sony 31a cdrom, so I need to install from floppies. How do I create the necessary floppies from teh bindist and srcdist files? if at all possible. I can't find anything in the FAQs or Doc files about this. But maybe I'm just missing something. Any pointers would be much appreciated. Problem: the boot floppy fails during installation. Everytime it tries to create the harddisk boot partition from the boot floppy it fails. I.e., when I boot from the hard disk it can't find 'init', and then of course reboots. During the install of the installation boot partition it gives an error, which I can't completely see, about a hard error on the floppy. I've switched floppies, and despite using different disks (i.e., it's not a hard error on the floppies it seems), it still gives the same error.
