Well,

Our latest problem installing 2.0 is that in the VERY last phase of the
boot floppy install (e.g. little, one line window), when it goes to unzip
the goodies, I get a bunch of error messages to the left and right. They
say strange things like:

T0 80 <invld> cyl
fd0c: hard error
T20cyl 53 hd0
zcat: StdIn: Input/Output error

This is the fourth floppy rawrite'en, and second hard-disk (SCSI)
attempted to be formatted.

System:

Dell 486 DGX, DE/2
36 m ram
Adaptec 1542c

3.5" floppy

attempted to format 540 meg quantum SCSI, & 163 meg IBM SCSI.

Any help/hints??

e-mail roy@adeptsolutions.com

thanks
