- The charter says (I should know, I wrote it:)
- PROPOSED NAME: comp.os.ms-windows.setup
- PROPOSED STATUS: Unmoderated.
- PROPOSED CHARTER: This group is intended for discussions and questions
- about the Windows setup and installation process,
- hardware compatability issues as well as general
- hardware use and performance issues.
-

- issues are best discussed in the appropriate groups. You will find there
- the people who are best qualified to help you, and the people who are
- most interested in running Windows apps under OS/2 (or whatever). Just
- subscribe!
