I have got the same result...no error message and it wants to reboot within 30 seconds of placing the NFS disk in the drive. I considered the harldware as a problem. But am able to sucessfully run Win95 without trouble. And any machine that will run a product like that with ease I am convinced can run anything :) I am using a IBM 433SX/SP with 32MB or RAM, 250MB IDE HD, 16X Adapti CDROM, ATX case and built in sound/video. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Martin Welk" To: "Jason" Cc: Sent: Thursday, December 16, 1999 4:43 PM Subject: Re: Installing 3.3 from CDROM > On Thu, Dec 16, 1999 at 10:13:04AM -0500, Jason wrote: > > > It goes through more of the above and then states that it will reboot > > automatically in 10 seconds.
