Hi, I have an 486-25 mhz with 8 mb + 100 mb HD
I had same problem... :)
if you also use an HD try to find an paralel cable and the program FX, then
you can put alle the archives on the harddrive in e.g. c:\mulinux extract
them with the UNPACK command, and try the boot.bat.
This works much easier !
If you do not have an HD try to make with another floppy the same disk
again.
Maybe it is corrupted ?
good luck!

Subject: problems with superformatted floppies
Hi All,
I'm trying to install mulinux on an old 486dx33 with 8Mb ram. The
boot+root disk and the usr disk go on fine, but when I try to install
the wks or X11 floppies, they get part way through then the floppy
drive's light goes off and the system just stops.
For example, the WKS disk goes like this:
Loading WKS from /dev/fd0H1722 (offset 0k). Please, wait...
Creating /dev/ram3 ramdisk ...
mke2fs 1.10, 24-Apr-97 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
Completed 22%
...it clicks through "Completed 1%" up until 22% then just stops.
Same thing happens with the X11 disk, but it gets to 47% before
stopping
Assumedly this is because of the overformatting (or whtevr its called)
of the floppy? Is there a way of getting the modules onto two
ordinarily formatted floppies, or is it something I am doing wrong?
Would very much like to work this out, so would appreciate any help
anyone can give me.
Cheers,
Adam
