I don't recall having to press enter to continue, i guess you're using the 1.2m disks. Regardless, try another floppy. The instructions talk this, the BIOS disk reading code is a lot less robust than the normal drivers and often has problems reading marginal disks. I had a different problem, after finishing the entire sequence I rebooted and saw the very frightening: Invalid partition table I rebooted with the rescue disk and tried to use the rescue image but got something to the effect that there was no such image. When I used the regular image and ran fdisk and saved the partition table from there it was ok. My confidence in cfdisk is correspondingly lowered. greg -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
