eCS 1.0 installed and ran fine on FAT16.  On 1.1 it appears that they 
threw in some long file names just to make sure it would not install. 
  I have an email from SS that they were considering allowing FAT16 
again.  Obviously that didn't happen.

My guess is that if you install on HPFS, then change all the LFNs to 
8.3, and clone it to FAT16, it will run.

Does any one know if it will install on FAT32?
