If I understand correctly, the first CD is 200 M? I have an upgraded
system, that I upgrade daily, and therefore don't have a way of installing
from CD.

BUG: If C:/windows/fonts doesn't exist then check C:/winnt/fonts for winnt
users (like me). You may even want to check a few more directories like
win95, win98, or something, but pkease definately check foir
C:/winnt/fonts.

BUG: drakboot and drakfloppy seem to need gfloppy, but gfloppy is not
listed in Requires. Also, there should be a text interface. I don't need
X11 just so I can format floppies.
Even more important, supposedly grub is supported. I have grub
installed. But when I type ;drakboot' only LILO comes up to configure. You
have been saying grub has been available for the longest time, so where is
it???

Can user select between XFree86 3 servers and 4 servers?

Can you set up ReiserFS partitions from the graphical installer?
Sorry for some of these questions. I am curious about the installer, but I
am unable to get it on CD unless someone is willing to mail me. Thanks.
