 Hey,
 
 Initial floppy install with 5.2.1.
 As far as this problem goes, we continue to have problems here =
 ourselves.  we have 12 PCs for a classroom which are completely =
 identical.  They have a P4P800-VM motherboard.  The CPU is Intel 2.8 =
 GHZ.  For the strangest reason, the install worked on 1 machine and =
 failed on all the others we tried it on.  It is NOT the diskettes as we =
 are using the same physical install diskettes for all these machines.  =
 We thought it may be a BIOS problem - we checked the functionning system =
 against all the other system - they are identical.
 
 Now, the install works without a problem with 4.10 floppies.  Any idea?  =
 It seems to fail before is starts to detect the pci-isa bridge but it =
 was not an issue with our first machine.
