Well I thought my RH7.2 wouldn't install because I couldn't configure it,
but it seems I have an hardware issue here.

I am doing a plain KDE workstation install on a pentium 3 computer, empty
hard drive, and all is fine until the step where I make a boot floppy. I
just get an error "couldn't create boot floppy", so I skip this step and end
up with a unusable RH. Seems like GRUB and LILO won't install on my MBR
either.

I tried Mandrake 8.1 and exactly the same problem regarding the floppy,
while LILO is installed correctly to the MBR and I boot correctly.

Finally I tried Debian 2.2.5r and bam, same thing, it won't create the boot
floppy, but LILO is installed correctly like in Mandrake.

Any idea ?

I have just one floppy drive, and the other is disabled in the BIOS.
everything works fine under windows.

Lorenzo
