I copied the boot.flp and cpio.flp and reformatted the drive, and all seems to be OK, but I can't set up a SLIP connection from the installation program to FTP the OS. The installation program tells me that I can send commands to my modem to set up the connection but then skips quickly to the next screen when I hit OK (me thinking that I will be able to talk to my modem at that point). I tried hitting ESC twice and messing around with cu at the subshell, but it doesn't seem to like anything I try. What am I missing here? Are there any step by step instructions, or at least some help beyond the FAQs and INSTALL files that I have. Any help would be appreciated.
