Hi - I'm having some difficulty getting loaded from the Walnut Creek CD: 1) It looks for a CD at 0x300; my SoundBlaster 16ASP can only be at 220, 240, 260, or 280. How can I change the I/O @ of /dev/mcd0? 2) I was able to get most of the system by putting a DOS (Yecch!) partition on the disk & copying the distributions to it, but I can't create a directory called xfree86-3.1 due to the filename length res- trictions of DOS. Is there any hope of ever getting X on my system? Anyway, the directory name on the CD is XFREE86_, but the install routine looks for the other name. 3) Once I have gotten some of the system loaded, how can I install additional packages without going through the install procedure which newfs's every- thing? Sysinstall didn't seem to want to let me do this either. Tx, Duke Smith
