Found it easier to create a boot floppy and install that way. IDE is supported but you should run inst_ide.bat (I think or maybe it's inst-ide.bat - can't remember) on the CD. But I had to remove the above from the config.sys file before doing so. If your machine came with Win95 you may have to create the dos boot disk to boot your machine clean. Hope I haven't missed the mark by too much and Hope this helps Keith keithl@gil.net On Wed, 11 Sep 1996, Enoch Wexler wrote: > Hi There, > > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ > + Received 2.1.5 CDROMs from Walnut today. + > + Can't install it.
