I can't -- yet.

A good question.  I'm installing it on a 60 Gig drive and don't get to
whatever FDISK is called in this release.  The Warp logo screen comes up
and shortly after that, the c0000005 Trap.

I read about it a long time ago and saved the explanation to disk and tape
just in case, but they were lost two years ago, along with all of my IBM
manuals.

That's good to know.

I went to IBM.COM and got a bunch of hits; none that I've looked at so far
pertains to my system.  I have an Intel P4, 2.4 Gig processor and 576 Mb of
RAM.  Maybe I should use it on something older, with a smaller drive.

It must like mine, then.  (-:

As I remarked to my sometime mentor in Canada, Murphy's Law likes me a lot.
