    freezes when trying to write boot floppy

    I am attempting to install Knoppix 3.3 on an older celeron computer. Everything goes fine until it comes to the point of asking if I want a boot floppy. It will not let me say "no" I do not have a floppy drive in this computer. Funny thing is that when I installed knoppix on this computer, which has a floppy drive, it never asked me if I wanted to make a boot floppy. any ideas???

    Well that certainly is odd. Which installer are you using? There are two-

    knx-hdinstall

    and the newer

    knoppix-installer

    If it insists on making a floppy is it possible to connect a floppy drive at least for the installation?
