I'd at least give it a try. Thanks. This almost worked. :-) I ftp'd a copy of this (from the 2.2-960501-SNAP dist.) and had a few problems. Firstly, after successfully booting, I got lots of messages about help files not being on the boot floppy. Secondly, after setting up the partitioning, etc., I was unable to make a selection from the menu where one chooses the type of installation, such as some binaries, all of the source code, etc. Entering the number for an item, or using the arrow keys to highlight a selection, in this menu didn't result in anything actually being selected. -- R.
