Thanks, this is a good information. The bootdisk will certainly cause
a failure at this point. Didn't think of it, because somewhere along the
line, I remember an incorrect bootdisk exhibited different behavior.
The 50% mark of the system wide windows installation, is the point
where the dos images are being created. That is why it tends to pause
for a minute or two.
If you need a 98 SE boot disk let me know, and I'll send you the floppy
image as
an attachment.
Regards,
Mike
