Hi, I ve just downloaded the 2 floppies ( boot.img and root.img) to start installation from floppy. I have all the sarge in local ftp server. Since I haven't CD drive on some machines, I want to install from the server by using the floppy to start the installation, unfortunately the fd tried to get the packages from the network, there is no option to tell from where to install as in the standard installation CD ?? Perhaps I downloded the bad images ??? in this case where can I found the good ones. thank you very much bela <SNIP - Yahoo Stuff> I used the ones found here http://www.fdos.org/ripcord/rawrite/ I used the boot, root, cd-drivers, net-drivers.img files from the DVD... and a program called NTRawrite-1.0.1... I put them all into the same directory... 1. brought up the DOS prompt 2. typed 'NTRawrite.exe 3. answered the prompts a. source file -> boot.img b. destination device -> a: c. hit any key to continue It writes the files and then verifies them... D. Success It worked great for me... using NTRawrite-1.0.1 on a Windows XP Pro machine...
