Did anybody come up with a solution to this problem? I havent seen any
replies, but often the `Distribution: '-header stops messages before they
reach me this far out of the mainstream.
I get exactly the same error, with almost exactly the same configuration:
486DX50, AHA1740 in standard mode, 1.2GB IBM disk and a 300MB partition for
DOS at the front of the disk.
I to would be very grateful for a solution for this.
