I am installing ka9q as a router on a diskless 286 PC with a 1.44 Mb floppy. My question is what's the minimum DOS subset that I should have in order to boot and start ka9q. BTW is 1.44 Mb enough space ? Many Thanks in Advance Camille Kayruzian, opschk@ganges.ucop.edu, 415 987 03 62

In other words, format the floppy with FORMAT a: /s and, if format doesn't copy it, copy command.com to it. Besides KA9Q, you'll also need whatever drivers you need for your network boards, packet drivers, etc. 1.44 should be PLENTY (720 will probably do!). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Rick Beebe (203) 785-4566 ***** ***** ***** * * Biomedical Computing Unit * * * ** * Yale University School of Medicine * * *** * * * 333 Cedar Street, New Haven, CT 06514 * * * * ** * * * * * BEEBE@YALEMED.BITNET beebe@biomed.med.yale.edu -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
