Michael....yes....that last page - file://cfgwiz.dgi - needs to be
changed so it offers a "Finish Setup" button....
...The page has no links, just the two check boxes, and presents the
whole ArachneToolbar just waiting there to be clicked on...which could
cause crash and panic complaints from newbies....it even made me stop
and think, before I just poked the "ESC" key and got down to the
"Installation Finished" line...<g> So give them the OUT and a note
to restart Arachne by entering "A" from their commandline to begin
surfing with their brand-new baby....<g g g>
Also, somewhere, newbies need to be instructed to load their
mouse driver, before entering "achn161" at the commandline...coming
up in the install program, without a mouse, will be a traumatic
experience for most of today's "point-and-click" crowd, and we don't
want to cause them any panic=heart-attacks....<g> Maybe, just add
the "mouse.com" command at the beginning of the .BAT before you ask
whether they want to "..install the Arachne 1.60b1, now..?" (very
big grin) Anyway, needs to have the mouse installed for them...
..or an option letting them choose.
