RTFM! Sure if you have a specific problem with setting up PC-MOS the net is a good way to get help. Come with specific questions, sample error messages etc and you will probably get some help. But if you want to have the net do the installation for you you're SOL. No one answered your first post because you didn't ask a question. -- D'Arcy J.M.

Well I though I'd wait for some serious replies, but since none appeared... What to do with PC-MOS: 1)Boot the machine from regular MS-DOS. 2)Format the PC-MOS disks so they are completely blank.* *I take no responsibility if you actually do this. Seriously, PC-MOS is one of the worst multitasking OS's I've ever seen for the 386. It takes a perfectly fast machine and makes it slow as molasses flowing uphill in the winter. It crashes constantly with no particular prerequisites. Believe me, I couldn't find any regular pattern that made it crash in 3 months, and there were only 4 programs that were ever run with it. (Programs that did no fancy i/o, which is what usually trips up OS's like this) In the case of where I worked this summer, it would crash more than once an hour. What PC-MOS is good for: It makes alot of money for consultants who are constantly needed to come in and fix the setup so that it will stop crashing, which never works. However, if you still want to use it, try looking through the on-line help screens. They seemed to explain just about everything. (That's what the consultant used.)
