I made the required floppies. Ran scandisk to double check the integrity. Put in a 500 meg conner hd. and formatted using fdisk. When starting the install process it goes to the boot prompt and then proceeds to the "Loading root.bin then the Loading linux and uncompressing then to a bunch of stuff on the screen and to where the hard drive specifications are and then my laptop goes into "sleep mode" until I reboot it. (ie. the sleep light comes on and the screen goes blank) It has a vga compatible screen and full size hard drive.
I tried installing on my Packard Bell Pentium 75 and had no problems with the same disks. I was going to try to do a double boot with my 6.4 gig seagate drive on my laptop but ran into this "sleep" problem. I thought maybe it had something to do with ezdrive so that is when I changed to the 500 meg drive and formatted it for a test base. Help! Paul Kennedy, Thank you.
