One cause was that my mainboard and processor were allready near death.
So now i'm able to figure out that the error messages want to tell me=20
something about some segfault in some mv_<something> at an address=20
4<something> but the lines still scroll by to fast to make an "offline pr=
int=20
screen" and take them down to post them here in full length.

Iv've downloaded the floppy disk images for i386 and stuffed them onto 3 =
144=20
floppies using dd. The floppies were moved in full length no dd error , a=
ll=20
blocks were copied.

So what to do to get ge arround the segfault.
