Anyway I got the eCS CD yesterday, but had to go out last night so I shoved it in the CD drive, reset the boot up sequene to CDROM, and get 30 seconds into the default install and get the following error, SYS 1914 The system cannot reserve drive R. Of course it can't, I have allocated that letter for one of my partitions. I supose I'm going to have to screw around with LVM again. But I thought that requiring specific drives was a Windows only concept. I'll try again tomorrow night, in the meantime I'm stuck with Win98 until I get the eCS sorted out. Regards Dennis. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **= Email 2 ==========================** Date: Wed, 04 Jun 2003 19:13:27 +1000 From: Ed Durrant Subject: Re: eCS 1.1 Install WHOA !! At startup of the Install CD you get the option to change hardware and other settings - one of these is which letter to use for the RAM drive used by the installation process. Simply change this to a free letter (ideally as high as possible). Cheers/2 Ed.

By the way, I finally found a 100Mbps Ethernet Adapter Card for OS/2 The Dolphin PCI 6003 Card from Tandy or Dick Smiths $19.95, I believe that they are currently $3.00 off at Dick's. The correct drivers are rtl8139.nif 4862 9/8/2002 rtsnd.os2 12523 9/8/2002 rtsnd.sym 3684 9/8/2002 Regards Dennis.
