After going through the installation dialog and the installation starts, I get errors that the bin cannot be copied (after a " -1 of 1024 bytes" written message.) Occasionally, I'll get a message box that explains that bin may not be on the installation media. However, sometimes it looks like some of src is being found and copied. My machine has a 2.5G IDE drive, and has a 500MB DOS partition. Any suggestions? Thanks Ben bkeller@po1.mtech.edu
