NFS and HD installs proved to be so easy I don't burn CD's any more. If I ever keep a distro installed more than a month maybe I'll burn a #1 CD for rescue purposes, but a rescue floppy seems adequate that even that shouldn't be necessary. Basically, either NFS or HD install you mount the #1 iso in order to make a boot floppy from hd.img or network.img. Instructions to make the floppy are in the readme in the iso / and /images (the directory with the floppy boot images). Once you make it, boot from it. Most questions are easy to answer, and if you can't supply the correct answer, reboot to the old system, fix the problem, then boot the floppy again. It shouldn't take more than 3-4 tries the first time. My first took me two. -- "To fear the Lord is to hate evil. . . ." Proverbs 8:13 NIV Team OS/2 ** Reg.
