Yes, I have always used Floppy installations. That is the only one that works for me. (haven't tried FTP) When you use select the distributions, make sure the <distrib>.inf file exists on the first floppy. Recently, I used this method to upgrade from 2.2.1 release to the latest releng. Hope that helps. --vijay (vijayk@ed.atl.sita.int)
