I tried to install 2.05R on a CSSI only system with a 2GB Quantum
EMPIRE_2100S (Btw: dont try this at hoime..that disk sucks)
Anyway: after installing all of it, it failed to boot from the
fixed disk with a missing operating system.
So I tried to reinstall it but now I chang4ed the geomtery to 
what 2.0R reported when booting. This just failed. Every key I touched
I got this popu menu shouting that I entered the wrong geometry :-(
I `solved' the problem by adding a dos partition of 1 meg, but this
is bad. I dont want DOS. And I dont understand why I caanot use the geometry
reported by 2.0R when booting for the 2.05R installs...
