- It would be particularly useful when running into install problems,
- as I did last week when playing with my new RLL card. Wierdly enough,
- the size of the drive affected whether or not INSTALL would work...
- It locked up on the larger drive (Micropolis 1325, about 100M RLL) but
- worked OK on the smaller (Qume 540, ~48MB RLL). Having source, or an
- install script instead of executable, would have made life easier.
-
- (Yes, I did finally get the larger drive booting, but most of the /dev
- entries were missing, and some directories and permissions were missing.
- And rogue still fails to update the score file. :-) )
