I must have done something right this time when copying the updated
diskettes ui1.exe and ui2.exe. I tried them with an install and I made it
thru the installation to an error that I didn't have enough hard disk space.
I was at the setup of the boot partition, etc. I got a little confused with
this page, but at least I can start the installation. The fdisk program I
reached read the hard drive as being 13 gig, which is correct. I will have
to read and discover what I need to create for the system installation.

"you normally have 3 Diskettes for your installation !

The first Diskette is the still unchanged Installation Diskette
(0=Zero)
With the UI exe files you will get accurate Diskette 1 and
Diskette 2
Now you have to check the config.sys on your Diskette2 and add:

set copyfromfloppy=1
reservedriveletter=r

With these entries your installation process will work !
With reservedriveletter=r your CD-ROM will get the letter "S" and
you can adjust to your needs ;-)"

I didn't do that yet. Must I still change the config.sys if the
installation started like it did?

Thanks for the help and sorry I am so slow and discombooberated. Kinda hard
multitasking: watching a 4 1/2 and 2 1/2 grandkids, cleaning house and
trying to do this. Impossible, but just about the only time I have right
now.

Any advice on setting up boot and partitions would be appreciated.
Thanks, again.
