I liked everything up until the reboot. :-( Win95 reboots so many times, that it takes hours of time trying to install. I really like the idea of having an "automated" feature. (wish win95 had one) where you could enter in all the information in a few basic screens and then just leave it. When you come back, its installed and rebooted waiting at the the login prompt. FreeBSD almost does this. (you would have to remove the floppy before leaving). It would stop only on critical errors, and log the rest. Otherwise it would be real easy to install a basic system. > So... Comments on this, anyone? :-) > > /Mikael > > Just my $.02 Christopher J.
