When installing 2.0.5R from CD the "easy" way from dos, the install kernel prints some segment sizes and then dies with the following message: EMM386: Unrecoverable privileged operation error #1 - press enter to reboot I am running dos 6.22, Windows is exited, and EMM386 is running (with the -noems memory option). The hardware is a 90Mhz Pentium This is not a major problem because I will go ahead and make the boot floppies, but I would still like to know what the solution is. Thanks in advance, Raymond C. Maple
