hey Joe
 
got the disk in the mail today.  so i tryied to load it up, my computer is a little tricky so I had to do it a few times. (it likes to freeze up alot)
well here's what I did.
 
chose the first type of instalation
went through check points
starting LIZARD- took a long time..
never got to load
-----------------------------------------
2nd try
save VGA mode
skipped floppy
load from lizard...
failed
____________________________
3rd try
tried with out probing hard ware
skiped floppy (now it did that every time does it not see the floppy, or is it normal to skip it?)
got to start LIZARD...failed
___________________________________
4th try
first type of instalation again
this time it STARTED LOADING
got the big white square for mouse again(like on previous build)
worked fine
got to choose monitor-still didn't find mine MAXTECH XT-5800 (so I chose the closest one)
set resolution
800X600 60 KHZ
looked great. changed the white mouse  block to an X     :)
entered password and username
stopped loading at 59%
____________________________________________
5th try
1st instalation choice
got to setup lizard.... fail
__________________________
6th try
1st instalation choice
loaded up
loaded fine till probing monitor
didn't test monitor so i still had the white square
couldn't put in user name and password with mouse so I had to use the Key board and TAB to the different fields.
tried to choose my modem, VIKING was not there. chose Hayes standard with rockwell chipset
chose and tested the printer  konika LP-3110 (HP laser jet 2 emulation)  it took a long time,(2 minutes) but it finally printed out a test page
got to the game (I liked packman better)
had to go away from the computer for a little while
when I came back the instalation stopped at 90%
waited about 10 minutes and it never finnished.
(i like the status bar on all the packages it's loading, so if it looks like it's stopped, you still have a bar showing it's loading a big package)
so i'm impatient..
 
I will try again today
 
Dave
