I don't have a com port, I/O, or IRQ conflict. I previously installed a pre-2.x version in this manner w/o trouble, I just don't have thing left from it. I have the system installed now via a dos partition and a long dnld, and I can dial out successfully, I'm just baffled about the lockup from the boot disk.. You follow me? > If your modem is on com3 or 4, either rewire sio1 to the proper port & irq > in -c or move your modem temporarily. > --com2 Why worry now since I have it installed? cause I frequently change OS's as part of learning, at any one time I've got 5-6 OS's installed and don't want to have to keep all the files around, would like to be able to do the FTP install... Any other suggestions or guidance would be appreciated. > Doug White | University of Oregon > Internet: dwhite@resnet.uoregon.edu | Residence Networking Assistant > http://gladstone.uoregon.edu/~dwhite | Computer Science Major > Gene Nyland | My home Internet: for now: bipolar@intnet.net | na da aspiring CNE, MSCSE |some day
