I had a problem with installing the additional packages under <post installation configuration menu>. The Index File is found during the process but nothing get copied (all files are present under packages/All directory). This is not the only problem. I tried to reinstall the system later yet to face another problem. After i partitioned and labled the HD and starting the installation i got this error msg: Copy returned error status 1! Couldn't clone the boot floppy onto the root file system On the Debug screen: copying boot floppy to /stand on root file system /mnt/stand /mnt/stand/help pid:ic(piu): uid 0 on /mnt: file system full Cp 10: write error: No space left on device The partitions as follow: 85M for / 400M for /usr 20M for SWAP I don't see why i get this error and after previous succesfull installations (beside the pacakge hanging thing). I thought maybe i should formate the partition but there is no such option in the menu. Just forming and lableling partitions. Any help is appretiated. One more thing, How i can remove the boot manager for the HD so that windows95 starts again without having to press F1. /\/\/\/\/\/\/\ | F L A M E | \/\/\/\/\/\/\/...
