Hello there. First off, I'm sorry. I'm not by any means new to PC's, =
or computers for that matter.. And I have been 'Out of the MS/Intel =
world' (I had an Amiga :P) But I am having some serious trouble =
installing the OS on a 486 based system (Actually an Intel Pentium =
Overdrive).. Here's a rough description.. A 28.8 modem on Com3, =
pleanty of HD space (3.1GB), the above noted CPU, 32 MB RAM, 1MB video =
(mach32 if it matters).. I rely on a PPP connection to the internet, =
sadly no direct or perminent connection here, although the machine in =
question is also hooked up to a LAN (okay, got a Linksys 10BT card, =
too). I tried to use the modem and PPP program to manually dial my =
provider, but it never seems to work. (can't do any AT command or =
anything!) So what I wanted to do was d/l the installation files on one =
of the LAN'ed PC's (like the one I'm using right now) and install via my =
LAN. But I have searched high and low (all the text files) and none of =
them say WHAT exactly I need to download to do this! They reference the =
CD (would prefer the free download!) and going the FTP route =
(again--modem not responding.. BTW - It's a USRobotics 28.8 =
Sportster).. Any comments, ideas, or thoughts you have would be greatly =
appreciated! Thanks for your time,=20
