===================================================== If you are responding to someone asking for help who may not be a member of this list, be sure to use the REPLY TO ALL feature of your email program. ===================================================== Tom, Thank you. I changed the directory from tcp-ip updates to tcp-ip_updates and created floppies successfully. Before installing either WR08610 or WR08621 I plan to backup my boot partition c: and make desktop and supplementary backups with Unimaint. Then I am planning to boot to a:\ with my updated utility diskettes, run chkdsk c: /f until it shows no problems before trying to install WR08610 first and WR08621 immediately thereafter. The installation of WR08610 seems pretty clear. Put the first floppy in and type install.cmd which calls MPTS.exe. The first floppy of WR08610 holds CSF1.42. I plan to insert the floppy with CSF1.42, type "FPINST Warp4" and press enter as the CS_142.txt file instructs. Do my plans sound reasonable? Are there any "gotcha's" like the space in the directory? Oh, yeah: I almost forgot to tell you that I did not install Network Adaptor, File and Print Client, Netware Client, Remote Access Client, Mobile Office Systems, System Management Client. I did install TCP/IP Services on c: but left the rest of the options blank. Will this cause any problems? I guess the above is just a back handed way of asking what MPTS includes. Thanks again.
