I have a feeling that Debian /Linux is particularly sensitive to media defect.
Even
when I use disk that are formatted perfectly in win95, I still get error during
installing.
Something retrying works.
But the easiest way out is to get a new box of floppy. You would need 9 disks,
about a box.
BTW, what's the root disk for? I don't think it was used for installation.
