I downloaded the 6 diskets 1.44 driver1 2 .... and all worked fine until I get Next: install base system. I put driver1-bin in the floppy but I got this anser: wrong disk .... you need disk1 of series the base series. Where are the disks of the base series ? I have another question: I had created 3 partition : hda1: boot, 4 Mb hda2: swap, 4 Mb hda3: 81 Mb Confirme is what I have done is relatively suitable. I can put hda1=40 Mb and hda2=8 Mb for my disk is too small. -- Gerard PS. 4 Mb of RAM is not enough I had to put 8 Mb to make it work. Perhaps it's possible with slink but not with potato.
