Other Help Topics :: installing from floppy disks

i am trying to install dsl to a ibm thinkpad 510cs. i got the boot disk to work fine but the quickroot.bz i cant seem to get to work. has anyone installed this from floppy only?

Read the "Getting Started" document

Getting Started->Other Documentation->On CD Documentation->dsl->install_from_floppy

And just were is the getting started document? It isn't on the cd anywhere that i can see. and search here in the forum turns up nothing on a floppy disk install.

If you have access to any computer that can boot from the cd, then you cannot miss it. It is the opening document. It is on the cd. /usr/share/doc/dsl/getting_started.html or /usr/share/doc/dsl/install_from_floppy.html or just click on the Dillo icon. It is a long document and is on the forum as well. Probably need to search from the begining.

that is the procedure i was useing all i get is boot fail. have made like 30 diffrent boot disks now from in dos and from inside dsl running on another machine.
i have even tried all the old versions no joy oh well i guess ill just put dos back on it and suffer with windows 3.1 garbage. tks anyway.
