- I received the Beta 2.1 cdrom a few days ago, and am having
- a problem with one part of the install. I am installing
- from the cdrom over an existing 2.0 system. The install
- goes along fine for the 19 virtual disks, but then wants
- me to insert the first "drivers" disk in f: (my cdrom drive)
- It seems to expect f: to be a floppy, and won't find the
- driver in the cdrom hierarchy. Also, it is a not very nice
- request as there is no escape from it. You can't tell it
- to change drives or directories. You need to reboot.
- I am now in the process of creating 26 some floppies and
- will try the installation from there.
- Anybody have this kind of problem?
