I saw there was a tool that looked like fsck from unix (dosfsck) is says it understands fat32(LBA) so I tried to reinstall with fat32(lba) the bootable cd crashes just after detecting the hard drive, so I'm guessing the OS doesn't want itself on a fat32 fs?
I guess I'll have to live with a *big* cluster size. You mentioned something about using a boot floppy and 'mounting' the cd-rom iso image from it for installation. where would I find an image of the floppy that has the needed utilities? I'll reformat to fat16(lba) and copy over the ISO and other downloaded files for it and try to reinstall again. I remember using 4dos vs command.com to get better shell scripting, I saw you have 4dos available. To use it would I change the entries in config.sys to use that instead of comand.com? I accidently used ls instead of dir, it said I didn't have something - I'm guessing an XMS/EMM386 type thing? I remember using QEMM for memory managment, but understood they have since gone out of business? Is that something the installer never got to, due to waiting forever for the DHCP reply? I was advised to just not install networking stuff for the 1st install, do I just untick all the things that look like networking? The packet driver does find the NIC and ID it correctly. How do I install the 'packages' that were not installed at installation?
