Hi! >> Wait, that is pretty serious! Only really important cache errors beep:

Even if you do something as harmless as copy STUFF SOMEWHERE | more you would still end up 1. not seeing the output of "copy" and possibly even 2. block the "copy" process by stalling the pipe. In short, please use a ramdisk for all your pipe and temp work :-) PS: More is a good example where pipes can be avoided, with help of my moresys driver ;-) > If the there is no beeping, when he boots the Floppy Install and > he only gets it when using the USB stick, It would probably be > due to the Read only USB stick. > > The floppy version, does not write to the floppy and at startup > checks to see if there is a writable drive C:.

It should probably not do that on C: but on the user-selected target drive, to avoid unwanted changes to C: ... In addition it should not use C: so early anyway: Maybe it needs to be formatted first. > If it cannot find C: or C: is not writable, > it will bypass the importing of settings.
