Thanks for the help I can start playing with Linux, here's what I got so far :
Trying version 0.12 :
+ able to get the boot and root images on floppies.
- the boot image decided that I have an EGAc (I have SVGA), but this is
minor problem
- 'fdisk' reports that I have extended partition. The installation doc
says that version 0.12 does not recognize extended partion. Oh, well.
- Every ftp sites mentioned that version 0.12 is better than 0.95.
Should I stick with 0.12 ? But I can't use my extended partition ...
(I have freed my F: drive for Linux, but don't know how to)
Trying version 0.95 :
+ able to get both boot and root images on 1.2 M floppies
+ boot able to detect SVGA
- then the floppy made a noise and error msgs printed :
Reset-floppy
Reset-floppy
Kernel panic: Unable to mount root
Is my copy of rootimage-0.95 bad ? or my floppy is bad ?
