clarity/pmacinstall...

Hi again. Sorry if I keep making you open my dumb letters all the time. I'm really sorry. So, I'll try to be quick. I would appreciate if anything told me was made über-clear, because, I'm a bit dumb, really. Like this with the boot-floppies. incoming/ has alot of files in it. Finding the correc

Re: potato boot-floppies for powerpc uploaded

Ok, sounds like it could work. Although I don't see where these "new" boot-floppies are located. All I see are the old stuff in disks-powerpc. Joel Klecker wrote: > > At 08:50 -0700 1999-10-18, Matt Porter wrote: > >On Mon, Oct 18, 1999 at 05:27:10PM +0300, Petter Sund
