And had some problems installing it that seem to have affected my hardware. I was trying to install directly from CD but couldn't get it to work, so I created a boot floppy usig the IDE CD option from the installation menu. I then rebooted the computer with the floppy and went to the section on partioning the disk from BSD, but before I could do anything the system locked up. I the removed the boot disk and tried to reboot from DOS on the hard drive, nothing happened. It doesn't even go through the initial BISO boot functions. Can't boot from DOS diskette or BSD diskette. Seems tha the attempeted installation has done some damage to my hardware. Do you have any explanations ? Bill Howell
