.......
BOOT FAILED
PLEASE CHANGE DISKS AND PRESS A KEY TO
CONTINUE.

This is what I get when trying to install
RH 7.1 using the boot floppy I have made
from the images on the CD.
I have re-made this floppy several times,
with no different results.

Can someone direct me a bit ??

Thanks !

Yes, but have you used different floppies each time? The floppy you are trying to boot off of is probably bad.

Well, I have tried a handfull of different
floppies, but I will try some more, maybe
I got some crummy ones.....

Off to see the wizard !

HAH !
Check this out - a fussy floppy drive !
I went a little nuts, and put the .img
files and rawrite on that machine, and
made the floppies I needed on it's own
drive, and PRESTO! it worked fine.

Thanks !
