[H-GEN] Redhat FTP Installation

[Anthony Ison]

[ Humbug *General* list - semi-serious discussions about Humbug and
Unix-related topics. ]


Just in case this gives a bit more light to the situation.

1) skinner sends 59368 bytes, and receives 0 bytes everytime.  When the
connection times out, the status goes to CLOSED_WAIT and receive is 1, send
is 0.
2) Exactly the same thing happens with a HTTP install.

Can anyone give detailed instructions on how I can create a bootdisk for the
P60?  I want to boot solely from floppy, and run ftp to see if there is a
problem there.  I can create a bootdisk using mkbootdisk.  I select rescue
from LILO, it eventually prompt for another ramdisk.  I hit enter, to use
the same disk.  It eventually comes to a kernel panic - something to do with
init.  Help, please?

Cheers.
Anthony
