I have downloaded the bin and floppies subdirectories from the ftp site and created my boot floppy. Hardware is recognized and I have done all the prelims. When I get to the stage of installing, the automated install tells me I need to assign disk labels before I can proceed and returns me to the initial menu. Need some assistance. My drives are labeled under dos as dos1 and dos2. Grant Lewis
