i downloaded the bare.i, install.1 and install.2, copied it to disk using rawwritexp, and tried to install sw.
i inserted the bare.i and booted from floppy and the initialization screen of sw showed up.
it prompted me to press enter to begin installation, and i did so.
then sw said loading failed, please insert another disk.
i inserted install.1 and pressed enter to continue, but then the system hanged up.
the led's of my computer showed me that the PC was loading and the floppy drive was in use, but nothing happened, it continued to stay at this stadium.
i also tried to enter bare.i at the boot: prompt, but it said "couldn't find kernel image: bare.i"
