I would think that someone selling a product which requires 40MB disk 3MB RAM, and a 386 CPU and is distributed on 23 1.2MB floppies would realize that someone who can afford all of that probably has a tape drive that can read 60MB DC600A (I forget the exact QIC number) or DC2000 tapes. Why doesn't SCO sell a distribution that comes with one floppy and one tape. Insert both and boot, answer a few questions and then leave for an hour or whatever it takes the tape to spin..... j |%|John Lawitzke, Dale Computer Corp., R&D |%|UUCP: uunet!frith!dale1!jhl Work |%| uunet!frith!ipecac!jhl Home Inquiring minds just wondering. |%|Internet: jhl@frith.egr.msu.edu
