Thanks. Well the install floppy don't really cater for it and there is certain cards that work with the PAO 2.2.7 boot floppy, but don't work with 3.0. I cheated by using the PAO boot floppy and then in the options set it to install 3.0 for me. It won't be able to do everything properly though. For example it doesn't know about the new X, but it did give me a basic install and I can now try to figure out why 3.0 don't work with my ACCTON 2212 ethernet card. It is supposed to be a NE2000 compatable, but it looks like our pccardd gets confused by something and I get the dreaded "Resource allocation failure for ...".
