You should then be able to use the boot/install floppy image which is on the same page as the ISO at the bell-labs site to start the installer. It will offer the devices where it thinks the ISO should live and you can chose your FAT partition; and you are off... Don't worry if it takes a long time it often doesn't use DMA during install but you can turn that on later. Alsi I would suggest you do a fossil only install for now unless you want to build a proper fileserver, again you can convert later. -Steve
