I think the WGET or WATTCP package is pretty much responsible for some hanging and/or crashing because DHCP is tried after installation. Something doesn't work out there. > Are these the drivers that wget would attempt to pull from the net?

CONFIG.SYS has them but that's a FreeDOS menu feature for skipping F5/F8 (singlestep) questions for specific lines/commands. > On a separate issue, my PC is older, but not classic native DOS old.

I thought the SB Live and Audigy still had DOS drivers, but that it required installation in Windows first, possibly followed by contacting Creative Labs for the DOS drivers? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ AppSumo Presents a FREE Video for the SourceForge Community by Eric Ries, the creator of the Lean Startup Methodology on "Lean Startup Secrets Revealed."
