Hmm. This didn't appear the first time, so I'll give it another shot..
======================================================================
When I tried to install linux, I did the following:
(my system is a 486/33mhz/212 seagate hd/VESA local bus VGA/8MB ram)
o downloaded series a,b,t,x
o 'rawrote' a1 and a2
o inserted a1 into my 3 1/2 drive, and turned on the computer
some text appeared (Loading .....) and a prompt to press <space>
or <return>. I pressed <space>
o I'm directed to insert the utilities disk (a2, I suppose) into the
drive I wish to use
o the drive is "2" on the list, drive a: 3 1/2", so I select it
o I press return, and get the following error:
MINIX_fs magic match failed
mount: unknown error 26240
o some text appears, directing me to "more <some dir that I can't
remember> README" but more doesn't seem to exist. I do get a prompt,
though, with a working "help" command, and the commands described
by help.
What do I do from here???
I hope this isn't covered by the FAQ, because I can't find this probelm
there ;)
Thanks (in advance) for your help.
