Hi
My grateful thanks to those who helped me out regarding the installation of
my operating system on a Calluna MoveIT PCMCIA 260 MB miniature hard drive.
It is working OK now without any sign of 'bombs'. WOW!!!
However, I am trying to install Virgin.net as my ISP but, as my PCMCIA card
is now full (with 8.6 and virtual memory 65MB and only 45MB left) I can't
install it on this drive BUT it doesn't allow you to change the destination
drive to my internal hard drive.
Does this mean that I must reduce the VM and put the ISP on the same drive
as the operating system?
All you need is the network settings from Virgin.net.
All that they're really installing, generally, is a bloated and customized version of IE (I recently helped someone set up their powerbook to connect to the network in the College. She had 5 copies of Internet Explorer installed by 4 different ISP's that she thought she had to use to connect.)
All you need are the network settings (if it's DSL or Cable modem, you might *possibly* need the PPPOE driver, but that should be a few hundred K not 45+ MB!) and PPP settings (username, phone number, and password.)
