The single floppy It's not an obsession, it's an unwillingness to do more work! Surely you, in the IFS hell you're in, can understand that somebody might just resent the demands for additional work when they're already running flat out? I'm not asking YOU to do it, I'm simply asking that you not keep asking ME to do it! I like the idea of a single boot floppy but I'm not so in love with it that I'm holding up the show for that reason alone. It's more the simple fact that the single floppy worked in 2.0.5 and it represented the easiest transition from the 2.0.5 release tools to simply keep using it for 2.1. All the time I've had available to put into the install tools has been directed at making them work as well as possible for the most general cases, and I scarcely think that this was a misapplication of resources. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." Within that context I most definitely *have* tried to make the 4MB case work, and I simply failed. Time has now run out and it's time to cut losses and go back to improving the general case installation! Jordan
