I don't think so. After all, I barely got it working myself,
and it took me several weeks of trying different things, and
I had the use of a working Linux system to build kernels.
Did you try it using the boot disk from cs.utk.edu's ftp area?
If so, keep in mind that that is for a very old version of Linux.
Maybe there's some sort of incompatibility between that one and
the programs you're trying to install.

I really don't know. Can you escape out of the install procedure into
a shell and mount the ms-dos floppy by hand?
You can try doing a talk, but different versions of talk aren't
compatible with one another. Try one of the following:
moore@sloth.cs.utk.edu (sun3 running sunos)
moore@envy.cs.utk.edu (tp750 running netbsd)
moore@avarice.cs.utk.edu (ibm rt running 4.3bsd)
moore@wilma.cs.utk.edu (decstation running ultrix)
(the first three are at my home (where I am now); it's probably
more effecient to use one of them.)
My systems are set up to use a visual bell, so if I'm not
watching the screen when you try to talk, I won't know you're
ringing me.
Or you could pay ma bell: +1 615 281 0594
