I've been reading, studying your net pages for over a day. I can't figure 
out just what it is that I have to download to get a very minimal system 
going? There are masses of files all over the place. All kinds of 
documentation too, but nothing tells me what it is that I have to ftp. I 
have already ftped your boot.flp. By booting on it, it gets me to the 
place where I have to install something, but I have nothing to install. 
The reason I have nothing to install is because I have no idea what to 
download to install.

It seems to me that the best way to go is to download ?something? from 
one of your directories into a DOS directory that I've set up. Then to 
use the boot.flp to install from there. If there are specific files in 
specific directories that I have to download what are they?
