Did you make the disk from the floppy image using the procedures recommended in the install manual? If so, you might just try again with another disk. Floppies can often be flaky. The answer to question #2 is yes, you can probably use quik. You just have to try it and see (can't try it until you install is complete). -- *----------------------------------------------------------------* | .''`. | Debian GNU/Linux: <http://www.debian.org> | | : :' : | debian-imac: <http://debian-imac.sourceforge.net> | | `. `'` | Chris Tillman [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | `- | May the Source be with you | *----------------------------------------------------------------*
