Re: [newbie] Geek vs the rest dilemma. NOW NUTZ & BOLTZ
well if you would ever ask a question, instead of acting so damn know it all, you might get an answer that will at least get you started in the direction of getting your box to run the way you want. if all you are willing to part with is "I still have a Full Box 8.0 which failed on my old machine" then you may not ever figure out what is wrong with the way you are trying to set up your box. where did it fail? what were the error messages. heck, do you expect the OS to work without tweaking in every possible hardware combination? I guess it would have to to allow an install by someone _you_ consider a "non-geek" so when you wrote "menu" for CP/M, whom was your employeer? and who kept the "intellectual property" rights? I am very interested in the history of early software.

[newbie] Geek vs the rest dilemma. NOW NUTZ & BOLTZ
Hi Damien, What distro was it? I still have a Full Box 8.0 which failed on my old machine and I am going to try it on another System which has a Ricoh CDRW. My plan now is try it and see - if it doesn't work on this one, I will try an 8.2 "update" I want to put the 8.0 on to get the IBM ViaVoice product which came with it ( wouldn't even install on the last try). The last few messages have given me a little hope again...
