Although I had all kinds of trouble with Maxtor HD, I managed to get Linux
(SLS) installed except one diskette x4. The problem is when I do
sysinstall -disk x4, it starts to install and then within 10 seconds,
it stopped reading from floppy drive. How do I know? I know it because
there is no the normal sound generated when reading from the floppy.
However, there is no error message whatsoever. It just simply hanged there.
I tried download the x4 from ftp site again to another floppy and got the
same result. I had no such experience with other diskettes. It will be
a shame if I can't get this x4 installed since I have spent so much effort
to get this thing going :). I wonder anyone has experienced samilar problem
before and know how to fix it. Thanks in advance.
