Yes, if you got to the point where it prompted you for boot methods, etc, you're doing fine. 'floppy0' is the first floppy (A:), so that's okay also. It sounds like the base14-1.bin floppy is bad. I'd try a different disk, and 'rawrite2' it again with the base14-1.bin image. You might even want to download that image again; it may be that the image itself was bad instead of the floppy (but I doubt it, or rawrite2 would have choked). ================================================ Kent West, Technology Support [EMAIL PROTECTED] Abilene Christian Univ., Abilene, TX 915-674-2557 FAX: 915.674.6724 Amateur Radio: KC5ENO Debian Linux: Ride the wave with the penguins!
