Wow!! Thanks, Rick!
I had completely forgot about the boot disk method. I guess we've been
spoiled by CD's and DVD's. I guess if I had remembered it, I would be
showing my age(My first PC was a TI 99/4a --- when they were new!).
Anyway, it's about 70% of the way through the install and the CD-ROM is
humming away nicely.
Thanks,
Jim !
