I've got the LiveCD and a boot floppy. (They both work, I've tested them.) When I try to install to this computer, I get to the DSL splash boot screen, but I continually get a "Boot failed, please change disks...", no matter what command I use. I just reformatted the HD (233 MB). What do I need to do from here to get it to work? The floppy is A, the HD is C, and the CD-ROM drive is R.

Try doing a poorman's loadlin install.

Search the forums for keyword

loadlin

or a different search for

poorman

and search

ALL FORUMS

and FROM THE BEGINNING or NEWER
