I am attempting to install frozen on a spanking clean system, it has no DOS, no nothing. It has a single IDE disk drive (/dev/hda). It appears that the only rescue disk in .../frozen/disks-i386/current is the low memory disk. This causes me a problem when I try to install, it asks me if I want

I'm about to do the sameinstall frozen on a brand new system. Whats the deal with the Base Disks, will they cause problems like what happened below ? Also, do problems still exist when rawriteing the base disks on a dos/windows system ? I know I had trouble with that before..its difficult

I had no trouble with the base disks but I created them from another system running Linux using dd. The important thing is to use FRESHLY FORMATTED diskettes. Do not overwrite a diskette with stuff on it. Use MS-DOS to format the diskette and then use rawrite. It is the boot disk (resc1440.bin)
