RE: Elks Distribution on Bochs 1.4

["Neil Holmes" <neil.holmes@zoom.co.uk>]

Thats great news Michael. I am pleased that to hear that you are up and
running. Let me know if you find any problems with your installation.

Keep your eyes open for upgrades. My current development version (which will
become 0.0.4 in due course) is now installing from a single floppy disk. Its
also not asking for a login at the start. It goes straight into the
installation.

Thanks

Neil

I had an invalid floppy delay count - yours was 500, mine was 100 times
that!

Setting it to 500 made it work.

Whee. I now have an ELKS bochs ;-)
