- Did anybody come up with a solution to this problem? I havent seen any
- replies, but often the `Distribution: '-header stops messages before they
- reach me this far out of the mainstream.
- I get exactly the same error, with almost exactly the same configuration:
- 486DX50, AHA1740 in standard mode, 1.2GB IBM disk and a 300MB partition for
- DOS at the front of the disk.
-
- I to would be very grateful for a solution for this.
