Re: Problems installing Linux from floppy
Mount the floppy manually with "mount -r -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt". Cd to /mnt and see if you can find install.sh, if not, you arre writing the floppy wrong, see the instructions. If it is there, try running this: "cd /mnt;sh ./install.sh /" . I think the trailing slash is important. That should install the kernel.

Problems installing Linux from floppy
Hello, I am trying to install Linux (1.3 kernel 2.0.29) from floppy disks and I always have the installation stall at the same point. I boot the system with the Rescue Floppy, follow all the steps until I get to the 'Operating System Kernel and the Device Drivers' stage. When I am asked to insert the Rescue Floppy into the drive (it is already there and has already been read from), I get the message: Can't open ./install.sh. I have downloaded the floppy disk image three times from three different sites and written to three diferrent floppies! Can anyone help me find where the problem is?
