Not quite. The drivers on the diskette will allow larger installation
partitions. The COPYFROMFLOPPY request tells the installer to replace the
drivers that would normally be installed from the CD with the drivers from
the diskettes. This ensures that you will be boot to the partition after
the install is complete.

No, there is only 1 config.sys.

That's fine. It's really a matter of personal preference.

>Now I edited the #1 replacement diskette using Notepad in Windows 2000.

Notepad is OK for this kind of ending.

My current suggestion for list of this sort are:

Another suggestion is to purchase the WarpUp CD from Prism Dataworks. It
will walk you though all the possible updates.
