Re: Any luck?

Got eCS installed on my (all-SCSI) desktop by making modifiable diskettes from CD1, entering "basedev.aic7870.add" into config.x and copying that driver onto the diskette. Rebooting after phase 1 hung the system, until I added that same line to config.sys. Then things went along as advertised.

For my 16MB ram laptop I made diskettes from CD2 and installed much like the Warp4 installation. Following that I ran convert.exe and now have a eCS desktop there also.

So -- Yes, finally, I seem to have some luck installing eCS. Now I will just play with it a while, and decide whether or not it is an advance over Warp4 w/FP15.

Thanks for your interest and help.

Good - I'm still working on my thinkpad

Kim Cheung is having me try various things, but no luck yet. I've copied the contents of the CD to a temp partition(D:) on my drive, renamed the "playintroduction.cmd" file to "donotplay.cmd" and install from the hard drive(boot the CD but change the 3 install settings from S: to D:). Nothing locks up, but the system doesn't let me start the install. I get to the screen where I can select which video driver to install, but the memory amounts for base and multimedia show XXX MB and the NEXT button isn't enabled.

I see in the [link|news://news.ecomstation.nl/ecomstation.support.install|eCS Install Support] newsgroup that he's posted something else for me to try tonight when I get home.
