Hi, Eric Your 2.11c version is great! It's just what that utility needed to prevent confusion when using very large hard disks. I let 2.11b run overnight and it finished okay. The counter, at least, lets one know that it will take a l-o-n-g time to finish!
Interesting twist on install routine: I downloaded the base ISO last night and tried it, plus my full cd, on the new computers that I have and it failed if I let installer finish. These PC's have proprietary ATX motherboards with PCI slots and one full-length ISA slot that I need for my serial expansion cards, Pentium 4, 3Ghz processor, 512Mb of RAM, one 80Gb SATA hard drive, Phoenix Award Bios. They are industrial computers assembled by a company in Canada -- Option Computers. The ISA card is used for my process control I/O I tried all three installation options on the full cd and the base install on the base cd. I let the installer run to the end and finish up but I got "illegal instruction" warnings with a load of addresses and opcodes when rebooting, the FreeDOS boot process halted and I never got a command prompt. I then tried the same installer on an old Compaq Deskpro C400 (400mhz Celeron, which is about six years old with IDE drives, and all installs finished okay. The only way that I could use the installer on my new PC's was to pick the packages that I wanted and abort the install process when the last package was installed and before the installer had a chance to do its final configuration. I then copied my configuration files from a floppy which set the paths and loaded drivers and such. I then installed my process control application and all is working fine. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
