Unfortunately it thinks my system >only has a 10MB disk. I have installed Venix before, but only on a 10MB system. However, I did have the same problem with Xenix. I had a Seagate ST225 20MB that formatted just fine under MS-DOS, but it would only format to 10MB under Xenix no matter what I tried...low level formats, repartitioning, etc etc.... Finally I solved the problem by putting in a different disk controller. I was using a Xebec controller, and switched to a Western Digital WD1002, and it worked fine. -- Greg Hackney S.W.
