I'm lost. Here is what I have going. 1. I don't have a 'supported CD-ROM' so I'm copying all needed files to a MS-DOS partition. I've gone through the CD-ROm and tried to identify the needed files. 2. When I run the installer, the installer loads up an index for me to choose the packages I would like. I select 'pcnfsd93.02.16'. When the installer tries to install the PCNFS I get an error saying "can't fetch package pcnfsd93.02.16", and exits. 3. Since I don't have a mondo MS-DOS partition, (only 250 meg) I have to be selective on what I copy into the partition for the installer to select. I've searched the CD-ROM hi and low looking for all files that pertain to PCNFS. I found 3 files and 1 directory. (the directory looks like the files for the application itself, but I'm not sure). I've copied files from the PORTS and PACKAGES directories. I've also copied the .tbl files from each directory. I'm probably missing some files but I don't know where to find them, especially if they are called something else from PCNFS. 4. I used xcopy /s command to copy these files over to the MS-DOS partition. Do you have any ideas? thank you for your help. chet carello Chet Puskarz Red Sky Films 50 Green St., S.F., CA. 94111 ph: 415.421.7332, fax: 415.421.0927 chet@redsky.com http://www.redsky.com
