Hello there! Got a possible bug for you...
When I boot the 2.1.5 boot disk and get the system ready for an install via
a modem/ppp link I run into two problems....
problem 1: the boot disk will only let me use com1: ... if I select com2
it still uses com1! ... good thing I have an external modem.... watched the
TR light to determine this.
problem 2: after the ppp connection, the system starts to format my hard
drive (after telling it to use the whole thing via the auto defaults for
all)... but since it's a 1 gig drive, my ppp connection times out before the
format finishes and the whole install goes boom cause it cannot find the
link!!!! ... please format the drive before having the modem call out...
one more problem, after setting the above parameters, for some reason the
drive runs out of disk space??? I'm installing the full (700M) system, but
I have a 1G drive!??? I think it runs out of inodes but not sure... can you
fix the auto command to adjust for this? Thanks!
