I believe you can do that using the 2.1-RELEASE boot.flp though it might be easier (and less dangerous) to get osbs (one of these or booteasy) from the 2.1.0-RELEASE/tools dir (off memory) and write the boot from DOS/Win95 (down in Command mode, not from within a DOS window since the latter wouldn't allow you to write to disk). > > thanks very much, > > jim magnuson > > > > --Chris Christoph P.
