you're installing Zipspeak, you need not reformat the hard drive on which you
want to install. If you unzip the 'zipspeak.zip' to your hard drive
(preserving the structure), the system is installed. You'll find it all in
the top-level directory called "linux". Once unzipped, the system is
installed.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=40205500-12042000>If you
wish to run the system from a cd, you will need to specify the cd's device name
at the kernel's boot prompt (when it beeps). Assuming a SCSI cd drive, you
could try something like "mount root=/dev/stb1", assuming your zip drive is
"/dev/sta4"(mine is). I don't recommend running the system from a cd, as
it is read-only. Or, do you plan to move the directories for "syslog",
etc??</SPAN></FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=40302400-12042000>I used Rawrite to
create a boot floppy with the ltlk.img file. </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=40302400-12042000>That talks fine
booting up, and I have used the ZipSpeak package on a zip drive.
However, I'm trying to install from CD onto a new system. It could not
mount the CD on boot-up, and gave a Kernel Panic error at the end.
Should I format the hard drive first? It's currently a DOS
partition. Is there anything I should type at the beep as the system
boots? </SPAN></FONT></DIV>
