Is there anyway under 2.0 to do a partial build of the system? I have a 150 meg CDC drive (148 meg formatted) and build recognizes and initializes the drive, calcs the directories its going to install, on the drive and hums away...then discovers that there is not enough disk space to put everything on the drive. Seems like it wants about 184 meg or so. I noticed that one of the things it is setting up is a 16meg swap area... I have a cube with an OD/40 meg swap drive so I would think that if I could specify what I don't want, this swap area would be part of it. But, build does not let me do this a la say the Macintosh Installer program. I essentially want to have the OS/IB on the hard disk and have the ability to mount and use Mr. Floptical as well. So is there a hidden command key to toggle on prompting for doing partial builds? If not, it should be a feature added soon. I would think many people would like to be able to have just the OS (for example) on a hard disk and the rest of their environment available to them on an optical or multiple hard drives chained to the nextstation or the cube. So anyone have any advice on this? thanks in advance.... David Williams dlw@atherton.com "Just got my cube on tuesday!"
