Thanks Robert, you hit the nail on the head :-)
I now get as far as installing everything & then I have to say where
the boot stuff must go. If I choose my either of of 2 hard disks I simply
get an error. (I assume because of fat32 partitions). I am happy to boot
linux using a floppy disk but I don't get given the option to do so.
How do I make a boot disk to fire up Linux, I now have it installed with
no way of firing it up :-(
