Sam, ah...I just noticed in my "LINUX: The Complete Reference, 3rd Ed" which comes with the complete OpenLinux 2.2 on CDROM, that they DO call for using Wingedoze to make the "install" and "modules" disks....but...then ...the next paragraph...they tell you how to do this in DOS...and the distros should be pretty much the same...so.... For LIZARD install; x: <enter> - X: is your CDROM drive cd col cd launch cd floppy (x:\col\launch\floppy\ ) rawrite install.144 (have two formated 1.44Mbyte floppies ready) rawrite modules.144 For LISA install; x: cd col cd launch cd lisa cd floppy (x:\col\launch\lisa\floppy\ ) rawrite install.144 rawrite modules.144 Now...you can easily check to see if those files (rawrite and the two 1.44IMG files) are in each of those directories on your CDROM...they should be...and THAT will let you deltree \WINDOWS and start clean...<g> If those files are NOT on there...then...I can email-attach them to you...'cause they ARE on my CDROM Openlinux distro....<g> ......gregy -- This mail was written by user of Arachne, the Ultimate Internet Client
