To install the system you'll need to partition, and format the partitions inside of, the disk image. The best way to do this that I know of is to use Tom'sRTBT as the boot floppy and then use it to do the partitioning and formatting. As soon as I remember how I'll post how to mount a partition inside of a file in LINUX (yes, it can be done. ..... ;-) ). > > BTW: I get only the (due to the screenshots) old GUI.
