I also encounters some minor problems installing the OS via FTP is that the instructions is not very clear when I reaches a page that tells me how to setup the hard drive, I needed to set up a new patition to share with the DOS patition without losing the DOS data also I encounters problems when I am done entering necessery IP and other addresses in PPP setup page since it lacks a terminal mode that allows me to communicate with modem and estiblish a PPP connection with my local ISP so I can peforms FTP transfer and installs the OS. Could you able to give me a simplified step by step instructions starting off with 'Start install for Novice users' so I can successfully installs the OS and preseving my Windows 95 OS. Also I need information on how to uninstalls the OS and restoring the orginal FAT to full capacity of the hard drive without loss of the data. Thank you!
