After running the three intall floppies I used load_dos to move the files 
from the three dist directories and then extracted them all. I then used 
config and everything seemed fine until I rebooted and after the device 
probe I got this message:
   Can't exec /bin/sh for /etc/rc: no such file or directory
Now it seems to me that I extracted enerything from bindist, but who 
knows. Not having any experience installing any type of *nixs what I need 
is a plan of action for booting and transfering the necessary files onto 
the HD (which BTW is a new conners 420 IDE in an old 33mhz 386 ISA MB).
	Whatever shoves in the right direction will be appreciated, but I 
hope I don't have to load all those floppies again!
