Slipstream that puppy and forget about it. I make a new install disc every time a service pack comes out.

Somehow I was informed it was, and after installation, you could remove some of the services you had no need for..
I suspect (after asking a few other owners) that the small ASUS Netbook SSD (Solid-state-drive) was MORE unhappy about the attempts to install "PCI.SYS" and that's why the install failed while looking for a PCI Bus, or the like. It was a rejection by the PC, not by the Install CD. CD is virgin, still, and never activated, BTW.
Reason for trade: I bought the ASUS with LINUX, figuring I'd save $$ and learn as I go, but found (Being in my 70's with PPS and OH-surgery-induced "brain Fog" ;-) ) that I just couldn't learn LINUX, so have to buy or get a installable/activateable XP2 or 3 CD to install. - Seen the XP CD at around $90 bux, but on SS income only, that will have to wait. ;-( - Sold my PRO-96 (No APCO up here in N. GA Mtns), but that went towards home tax bill.. ;-)
FWIW - I read the Slipstream info for future use, but even THAT's tough to understand or follow for me, despite being a retired NASA-KSC Systems Eng'r. :-(
