Comments/Problems:
Why don't you ask if this was in expert mode? It was.
Died on trying to install pcimcia for 2.6.3, because there is no such package. Worked OK with 2.4.24-1-k7.
On slow connections 0% something or 1% something
messages are very alarming. Some of them stay there for really long.
The first time I tried to hit ESC repeatedly, but there was no response
for a long time, then a lot of escaped chars when the interuppt succede,
but not crash.
Once tried not on expert mode, too and got downloading not from a mirror,
which is 4 times slower on my cable model (local net is much faster).
Perhaps gueassing mirror based on country could be useful.
Thank you very much!
Now I try to install from the same floppies on an old pentium 120, 32M RAM
from a network, etc. This was just an excercise. If you do not hear from me, the install on P120 went with no further problems.
Cheers, Mikolaj
