bootdisk problems

Hello,

Thank you for that URL.  I tried the same one.  I took the images I tried
from there.  It still refuses to take it.  Were the images updated when the
last changes made to the installation images?  that could be the problem.

The FTP links do not work when chosen from the web site.  but they do when
we go directly to them.

I was able to solve my problem by writing the first installation disk image
to a cdr/w disk and taking the image from there.

thank you for your help though.
