Christan,
I'm trying to upgrade from M6.1 to M7.1 using a hard disk image. This is a
non-trivial task :( as it assumes you're using a floppy to boot from. My
next attempt will be to use a floppy image to start with but when I'm doing
it, I'm at home and the floppy is at work :)
I don't have a CD drive for the lib. Also, the windows M7.1 install also
crashes.
Interestingly, the M7.1 install uses an 800*600 graphics mode which doesn't
fit on the ct50 screen.
I'll try again soon...the help files indicate that the floppy offers a text
install which I'd *guess* will use less memory.
btw - can I claim a record? Five hours to compile QT2.2.2 from source...
Neil
