- I got some answer. It seems that this message has been put to some
- file and can be changed. And It haven't been changed since .96.

- I found this latter after I post this news.
- there are many ways,
- the easiest one is go to the menu(type menu), follow the install other
- software(package). In .98pl5 this method and use "sysinstall -series t"
- will have some error(I don't know the other person encounter some problem
- or not). The linux will prompt
- "Insert disk t into the floppy disk, if ready hit enter or q to quit"
- something like this. But the problem is linux seems can't find my
- floppy disk. So the message is prompted out three,and finally give up.
-
- but In .99 It works well.

- THANKS ALL OF YOU THAT HELP ME SOLVE THESE PROBLEMS.
-
- When I install .99 (I reinstall the whole system again.) I encounter
- some problem again. At first when I type "doinstall /dev/sda" the linux
- keep prompt the meaasge I mention above. It seems the it can't find fd0
- but If I didn't do mkfs /dev/sda XXXX and doinstall directly it works.
-
- Second after I successfully install the system (a,b,c,x_ and make the
- boot floppy,the screen is like out of balance in the H frequency. Can't
- see a thing, I find the answer in the group.
-
- And now I have another question that I can't solve.
- I want to use the dos floppy to install another utility that is not
- include in the SLS set(like pcomm). But I can't not mdir my floppy.
- The Error message is something like
-
- --> Can't not read 80 track, 2 head ............
- -->Can't initial A:
-
- Do someone know how to solve the problem?
- Please help me.
- Thanks in advance.
