I recently FTP'ed and tried to use the SLS version of Linux. I booted the A1
disk, and fed A2 later. Once booted, I tried to see the /user/README file.
While my more waits for keys, I get messages saying 'floppy: unexpected
interrupt' while the floppy drive doesn't (apparently) do anything. I thought
switching the turbo off might stop it, but on the contrary, things seem to
get worse.
After a *lot* of attempts (the drive seems to lose sync when this appears
while it is working, causing errors), I managed to get most of the Base
Section to install on my hard disk. I created the second booting floppy,
and the same familiar message appears again on my screen whan I boot Linux.
It even appears at the prompt sometimes. Any ideas?
My system is a 486-33 w/105MB HD and a Trident 8900c card.
Thanks in advance,
Kostas.
