What you have to do is the following: From the basic install menu of the WP install program, you have to choose the CUSTOM option, rather than the BASIC one. Once you are in the CUSTOM option, you can choose whatever you like, ie where do the sources (installation floppies) reside (ie A: or B) and where do you want to put it to (ie, disk C: or D:, or a different name for the directory, etc...). Another option is running setup from WP itself (Shift-F1), after you have moved already installed version to a different disk (or directory), and go into the Location of Files menu, and change all the occurences of previous paths, into the new ones (although I haven't tried that, so I'm not 100% sure that it will work...). In any case, you would have to do all this WHILE IN the WP directory... Hope this helps. --Nino -- Janet: nino@uk.ac.ucl.sm.mph \ Nino Margetic Earn/Bitnet: nino@mph.sm.ucl.ac.uk \ Dept. of Medical Physics Internet: nino%mph.sm.ucl.ac.uk@nsfnet-relay.ac.uk\ University College London Bang-path: ....!mcvax!ukc!ucl-mph!nino \ Tel:+44-71-380-9300/x5313
