    Description

      In the past, I have been able to install Ros on my FUJITSU (Pentium2) desktop computer, using Smart Boot Manger to boot the install CD, I am now unable to start the install process with revision 69686, using either Plop boot manager or Smart Boot Manager.

      Plop boot manager on floppy:
      "
      IsoBoot: Load spec failed, trying wing ...
      IsoBoot: Found smth at drive = 80
      Error opening freeldr.ini or file not found.
      You need to re-install FreeLoader.
      Press any key
      "
      Pressing a key gives:
      "
      Error initializing .ini file.
      Press any key
      "

      Smart Boot Manager on a floppy fails as well.

      With an older revision (62372) Smart Boot Manager starts FreeLoader and the installation proceeds, but Plop fails again with the same error messages.

      Both boot managers can start a Puppy Linux livecd and an installation CD for Freedos.
