I tried many disquettes and they all faiil now. It must have been a coincidence when it worked with the original package... I cannot get it working anymore.
I'll try to find some high quality floppies, but if 99% of floppies have the problem, maybe there are a lot of people trying out tomsrtbt and get ting the same problem, but do not bother like myself to join the mailing list and simply try out another distribution. I also got another computer. I need to set it up (kernel does not support minix). I'll try to create the disquette with the other computer's floppy drive; it might be hardware the problem. I'll keep you posted. Sincerely, Hans Deragon Michael H. Collins wrote: > I had 200 brand new floppies. Tried 20 and none passed figure they are > all fubar.
