It appears that the updates image may be corrupted. Please mount the floppy (under linux) and run this command: md5sum /mnt/floppy/todo.py You should see it output: b6af38abb36a6429f2ecf0a7e3b291ea /mnt/floppy/todo.py
Turned out the floppy had bad tracks on it. Did a new floppy and it worked fine. Sorry for being stupid and consume valuable time. Got Fisher installed now. time to play.
