New to Linux, and stuck at first post :-(
Downloaded current 6.0.1 iso. Burnt it to a CD. target machine (older P1 166) won't boot from CD, so I followed instructions to make a boot floppy.
Now:
1. On booting from floppy, complains there's no ks.cfg on the floppy. I OK that.
2. Then it loads AIC SCSI driver
3. Then complains about an error opening kickstart file /tmp/ks.cfg. I OK that too.
4. Then it looks at CD and starts running anaconda
5. Then it fails with more errors, inc "IOError: no such file of directory /tmp/ks.cfg", unmounts the fs and shuts down.
This is a system with Win98 running happily. I was expecting the install to trash all that.
What am I doing wrong?

Hello
I had the same problem with a 233 mhz system
it will take e-smith 6.0 fine but not sme 6.0.1
I use 6.0 because 6.0.1 seems to be missing something and the new look isn't what makes a difference to me

Oh dear. Another 345MB download. Oh well.
Don't suppose anyone has a quick patch I might apply to the floppy that would work?
