All weekend I tried to install Linux using the online instructions booting with an smp kernel (duel pent III 450 - if that matters). Doing any kind of install that will work. But Im following the online guild verbatim and the commands such as nano its saying it use are coming up as not being there. If fact almost none of them worked except for the one to set the date on a stage 3 install. So Im assuming I must have got the wrong media.

I downloaded pentium3-1.4-20030801-cd1.iso
pentium3-1.4-20030801-cd2.iso
am booting off cd 1 following the instructions as said originally trying to do a stage 3 install but at this point Ill do whatever will work.

Does anyone know what I could be doing thats wrong?
