[CALUG] Install From Running Old Version?

[Eldon Ziegler]

I haven't been able to get "askmethod" to work when I boot from a 
floppy. I enter "linux askmethod" at "boot:" (right?) but it goes 
right into booting the old system from the hard drive instead of 
displaying the menus. I used mkbootdisk on the floppy.
