yes, this is the slink distribution. its a CD-ROM, sorry i forgot to mention that.
i understand that there is 3 sections to be installed : the rescue disk, the drivers floppy and the system base. it failed at the drivers floppy. i used rawrite.exe to copy the drv1440.bin to a floppy disk and use that during the installation, but it failed too. ----- Original Message ----- From: Eric G .
