The R1 lacks CDROM and FDDs, so I went and "borrowed" an external Imation FDD from staples. The boot disk loads up easily, but once the kernel has loaded, I need to load NIC drivers so I can FTP the install. However, when it asks me to put in module disk 3, it can't find the FDD. I can't seem to figure out where I would specify that the FDD is USB and not somewhere else....??? Anyone have any experience with this? Thanks, Dean
