Deisher To: bruce@beagle.pixar.com, imurdock@debian.org Cc: debian-bugs@pixar.com Subject: options 7 and 0 of install program don't work Package: root disk Version: 0.93R6 pre-release-1 I have tried several disks, but the install program is always unable to create a boot disk. It gives the error message: WARNING: There was a problem creating the bootdisk. It is possible that your disk was write-protected. It would be nice to know what the undisclosed problem was. I've tried both (msdos) formatted and unformatted disks with no luck. I thought I would try to shell out and copy the kernel onto a floppy by hand but option "0 Execute shell" does nothing! :-( --Mike ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Acknowledgement sent to Michael E.
