Hello Hamish,

HM> I'm fairly unimpressed with the user interface, too. The menus look
HM> fairly poor.

I'm puzzled. Which menus?

HM> The hardware manager is next to useless; as far as I can
HM> tell, it does not let you change any settings, so what's the good of
HM> it?

It's like MSD: a diagnostic tool, not an installation utility.

HM> I installed it with the wrong settings for my PAS16 initially; the
HM> only way to fix them was to go back into Selective Install (same as
HM> with Warp 3).

Huh? You're a glutton for punishment, that's fer sure! Editing
CONFIG.SYS takes seconds.

HM> The speed isn't anything to write home about. I have a Cyrix
HM> 6x86-P166+, 32mb RAM. Windows95 is a lot snappier on the same hardware,
HM> and does not sit around thrashing the disk all day as Warp4 does.

Did you leave the swapfile at the default size? Tuned the memory
settings etc for the various envoronments?

HM> No fewer than four system boots during the installation, too. Once from
HM> boot floppies, run FDISK; again from boot floppies. Then two reboots
HM> during the installation itself.

Why is this such a Bad Thing?

Chris
