Perhaps my last message didn't arrive to the list: The problem was solved, not possible during install, but after runing 8.2 form Mandrake Control Center i was able to create the floppy in a normal 1.44 one; perhaps is a problem with install??? Anyway, my computer can now start 8.2 from the floppy.
