Okay Wolluf, not quite sorted :-( One last hurdle. The diskette installation works just fine but the installation to my primary partition fails. Here is the error message: "Installation of boot manager in primary partition is not possible. On the boot disk 1 there is no full cylinder...

Okay, I've finally figured things out. I was under the impression that the installation routine for the win32 version was only for the gui interface. Since I wanted to test via diskette, I was stuck trying to figure out the command line switches, etc. I must admit that I was kind of paranoid...
