- Sorry, you need at least a DOS boot disk since the installation program
- is running only under DOS. But the boot program itself is independant
- of any operating system (should be - its a boot menu program).
- I will see whether I can port the installation program to C using curses
- or if this is not possible writing a simple utility for UNIX's.

- This *is* a uuencoded version. This is a uuencoded self-extracting
- LHA archiv for DOS. LHA is a DOS compress utility (should be known to many
- DOS users) but since its self-extracting if you run it (under DOS) this
- is indifferent.

- Hmm. That makes me wonder. Just now I saved the posting with the
- uuencoded file to a file "xyz" and typed:
-
- uudecode xyz
-
- and got os-bs132.exe with exactly 29876 bytes back. I never had
- problems with the local uu[en|de]code here. But I've put the
- file to ftp.fu-berlin.de to /incoming.
