Two problems came up. The first is that the makeflp.bat program didn't understand it was now running in a subdirectory, and tried to invoke things in the \tools director that wasn't there any more. No biggie. But biggie: The install floppy, when told this was a CD-ROM install, failed to find the "releases" directory (and the correct release within it). It instead insisted that the CD was for the wrong release (3.1-something), and we died there. Lucky workaround--we stuck the CD into a handy nearby Linux machine, and did an NFS export of /cdrom. We then did an over-the-LAN install via the NFS mount, which allowed us to specify the path to the correct release. Just a heads-up for y'all if you want to try the same thing. -crl -- Chad R.
