- I've been out of things for the last couple of months with first
- illness, then a holiday then a departmental move so after finally
- getting my machines on the net I thought I'd update my 0.0 to 0.1.
-
- I get the dist.fs onto a floppy and it boots fine, recognises all my
- devices and everything looks good until I type install. Bingo - Floating
- point exception.
-
- At this point there's not a lot I can do since there's no source for
- install. I'll spend the rest of this night loading the 0.0 way using the
- fixit.fs disk but I thought I'd better report my problem.
-
- My machine is a noname with
-
- 25Mhz OCTEK Hippo-486 motherboard
- ACE IDE-I/O card
- ST1144A IDE disk
- AMI Bios
- 4M memory
- Trident 1M 8900 video card
-
- It's going to be difficult to track down this problem since I'm not
- going to use install again so does anyone have any ideas??
-
- If there's a difference with my motherboard then I'm going to get these
- exceptions again so I'd like to find out what's causing them.
