I cannot get the software installed. From walnut creek CD-ROM, They have a cute little install program, I tried it but it didn't work, it just restarted the computer, I tried makeing a boot floppy, that just made the computer hang. I tried the -c option and got rid of the conflicts, hung again. I have a Pentium 100 with a 2940 scsi card. Seagat HD and a Sony CD-rom (all SCSI) If anyone could help me get through the install program, I would really appreasiate it. I have never had to install a Unix O/S before and so I am comletely new to this. Thank you for any help, Jason
