My system hangs, and I don't see any error messages on the screen You said copied cdins*_ah.flp ? You need to put it on an error free floppy with a special program.

You will find it under the tools directory, if i remember it correctly. -- ATS ( ats@first.gmd.de or ats@cs.tu-berlin.de ) Andreas Schulz GMD-FIRST 12489 Berlin-Adlershof Rudower Chaussee 5 Gebaeude 13.7 Tel: +49-30-6392-1856 Germany/Europe
