Re: old server

Hi Marv,

Thanks for the offer. Managed to make a startup disk on a computer
with Win98 (Me didn't have a provision for making startup disk like
Win98), booted up the server, logged into the E: drive, started
installing Win98. Unfortunately, got a message - not enough disk
space. Win98 needs 200+ Meg.

Guess I'll have to stick with DOS. A pity because that computer has
lots of ports.

Thanks all

Andrew
