- I tried installing SLS .98 recently. After some initial problems (due to
- the fact that I'd written to some diskettes using both DOS 3.3 and DOS 5.0)
- I did manage to get it to complete the "doinstall" procedure.
-
- I couldn't find the LILO files "boot.b" nor "chain.b" either.
- ...and of course, without these LILO is rather *useless*. Cxu ne?
-
- Overall, I found SLS .98 to be 'scrappy' and the scathing responses from
- Peter to my queries didn't help much either. (His responses in summary
- came down to, "Bang your head for ten hours, *then* ask." What a guy.)
