Okay, i mucked about pressing on connections. couldn't figure how ram
simms snapped out and didn't want to get stronger on them so I just pressed
on them.
Didn't work.
Tried running the below exe
it expanded the files onto a:
rebooted, no setup
copied files onto HD using dos boot disk
reboot, setup opened.
Now I'm working at installing rh5.2 linux on it. Moves so slow, many
minutes between stages. Tells me not enough space for a workstation
installation, will try custom.
Okie, ta for the help!
