Hi,

I was trying to install athena linux according to the instructions at:

http://web.mit.edu/als/www/

attach bootkit
cd /mit/bootkit/rhlinux
fdformat /dev/fd0H1440
dd if=3c905c-tpo.fl of=/dev/fd0 conv=sync  

These instructions have worked in the past with identical computers!! 
However, now the boot installer complains of a module kernel mismatch,
mounts /dev/hda as read only and fails to lay down a filesystem on the
disk.  This seems fairly terminal.  Are there updated instructions on
how to install an athena machine?

Yours faithfully,

David Collins
