    Hello all,

      I just inherited a Sparc 10 workstation, and am trying to install
    suse-sparc 7.3 Linux on it. The Sparc 10 does not have a cdrom on it,
    so I was hoping for a floppy based / ftp installation. I have seen
    some instructions on how to make the floppies to do this, but I keep
    running into issues when trying to make the "rootdisk". I have
    downloaded the .iso file several times from different locations and
    tried to make the disk, to no avail. Does anyone have any ideas?!?

    Thanks in advance,
    Ron Clark
