I have always had a problem with the boot disks occasionally dying. The things I can advise are:
* check that floppy access has actually finished and then give it a few seconds * going too fast throught the install (and swapping disks) make it more likely the install will hang If it hangs at the point where everything is done, you dont need to do the install all over again, just reboot with the original rescue disk, but instead of initialising a Linux partition, just mount the ones you created last time. The next step will then take you to create boot disk or boot from hard drive. You can then keep on trying untill you get a successful boot disk!! Johnny.
