I downloaded the 3.1 floppies, and they worked great. For some reason, though, the 3.2 floppies didn't like my system. However, someone already helped me out and solved the problem -- turned out that it *was* the new drive. Specifically, it was the fact that it was larger than 2 gigs, which the BTX loader apparently has problems with. He suggested using a "dangerously dedicated" partition, which I did, and that solved the problem. ********************************************************************** * Bryce Newall * Email: data@dreamhaven.net * * WWW: http://www.dreamhaven.net/~data * ICQ: 32620929 * * "Insanity takes its toll.
