Now, I am trying to get the base floppies to extract: I get: usr/doc/sysklogd : is a directory star : no such file or directory I have not initialised my swapfile or linux partition. I selected the "mount previous" options in both cases. To date a couple of information windows have flashed past too quickly to read, and I do not want to initialise my existing Linux partition until I am sure the rest of the installation will go OK.
