i am new to lunux and im having some trouble installing it. i downloaded it from a website and i extracted it. i copied a file to my floppy ''network.img'' and i restarted my pc. i came up to a window that said PLEASE CHOOSE INSTALLATION METHOD these were the chooses:
NFS
FTP
HTTP
i click the NFS but wasnt sure it was the right one, next a screen poped up saying:
NO NET DEVICES FOUND.
i clicked ok, and came to a screen that said:
PLEASE CHOOSE NET ACCESS.
they gave about 20 different options and i did not know any thing about net acces so i click the first one,i then came up to a screen that said:
PLEASE ENTER PARAMETER TO GIVE TO THE KERNAL.
can you please help me with my problem?

I feel the best thing is to download the complete file then burn the images to a cd disk then run your install as normal, I just feel that too many things can go wrong durring a network install such as a failed connection anyways when you download the files they will be in iso form, which you will then burn the image to a cdr in the event that you dont have a cd burner you can always find a distobution company that sells the burned iso images for really cheap, but normally with no support(and thats when you come here). Well hope I helped and didn't cause you any confusion.
