Thanks. This almost worked. :-) I ftp'd a copy of this (from the
2.2-960501-SNAP dist.) and had a few problems. Firstly, after
successfully booting, I got lots of messages about help files not
being on the boot floppy. Secondly, after setting up the
partitioning, etc., I was unable to make a selection from the menu
where one chooses the type of installation, such as some binaries, all
of the source code, etc. Entering the number for an item, or using
the arrow keys to highlight a selection, in this menu didn't result in
anything actually being selected.
