INSTALLATION NOTES FOR BETA4 (LEMUR)

Here is the Beta4 distribution.  Some things have changed since the
Beta3 release.  The kernel is no longer an installable package.
Instead, you need to install the kernel from the Install Boot Floppy.

I'll post any problems/updates with the Beta4 on the FreeDOS web site
at http://www.freedos.org/files/distributions/beta4/errata.html and
also at http://www.freedos.org/files/

In the mean time, some things you need to watch out for:

* Floppy access under the FreeDOS kernel is still a little slow.  The
  installation will take longer than you may expect, and running
  programs from the Install Boot Floppy is slow.

* The install program has a little bug in it where you SHOULD NOT use
  a trailing backslash for the install Source Dir or Dest Dir.  You
  will get a weird error if you do this.  If you do get the error,
  just exit out of the install program and re-run it (remembering
  this time NOT to use the trailing backslash.)

* The install program really should ask you to insert the first disk
  of the first install set before it tries to do anything.  If you
  have the Install Boot Floppy in the drive, the install program will
  correctly ask for the BASE.1 disk.  However, if you don't have ANY
  floppy in the drive at the time, you get a very odd error message.
  Please watch out for this.  I'll fix this in the next install
  program release.

* The install program (rather, the underlying Unzip library) will
  only create the last level subdirectory.  That means that if you
  are trying to install to C:\BETA4\FDOS and C:\BETA4 does not exist,
  you will receive an error.   However, if you are trying to install
  to C:\FDOS and C:\FDOS does not exist, then C:\FDOS will be created
  for you.
