My apologize to every one who responded. After 10 or 15 failed attempts, with many different disks, I figured that there had to be something in the image that expected something at a certain offset. I donno, I guess I just had _really_ bad luck with disks or something of the sort .. I finally got it to work.. :^) (arg!) Anyhow, in luu of putting my self in yet another embarrassing position: Why can't the installation program mount my dos partition to complete the installation? I get an error message saying that it couldn't mount /dos.. Okay, so I went to ttyv4, where the shell was and poked around.. There doesn't seem to be mount on the disk. Since ls didn't exists I had to improvise with find, maybe I missed something. I did notice though that the partition program was just calling my dos partition "fat", not msdos as in the 2.0 partition program. Ps. Really, I'm not as clue-less as I may sound! I'll port something to make up for my installation blunders.. :-) -- Cove Schneider cove@netcom.com
