Hello:
I decided to give BasicLinux a whirl. I downloaded BASLIN13.ZIP.
Then I unzipped this file in a special directory I had created for it
on my DOS partition. Then I read the instructions in README.TXT.
I found that so far I had done well according to the instructions.
According to README.TXT my computer far exceeds the system requirements
for loading BasicLinux. Following the instructions, I then typed "boot"
and pressed the enter key. A couple of screenfulls of geek messages
started appearing line by line until it came to this one:
"kernel panic: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on 01:100"
Then my machine locked up. I gave it the three finger salute and
re-booted. BTW, this experience did not result in lost clusters and
other such annoyances. I had Peter Norton to diagnose my disk and he
said everything was still OK.
BTW, the line telling me about the kernel panic appeared immediately after
a line saying:
"HPFS: hpfs_read_super: not HPFS"
What did I do wrong?
Sam Heywood
P.S. BTW, if I can fix this problem and get this BasicLinux thing working,
then would it be possible for me to run any Linux versions of Arachne?
