Subject: Re: [newbie] Venus 6.0 failure to load
John,
I have a PR200 Cyrix chipped PC. I have now managed to load Venus 6.0 by
downloading boot.img from one of Mandrakes mirror files transferring to a
floppy( it just takes it) and then using that as the loader.
There are lots of other problems to sort out but at least it now loads.
Regards
Bob
PS the README file in the same directory tells how to install it.
