Hmm... I don't have such problems, unless I run DOpus, that's the only thing
that crashes my Amiga. Otherwise it's steady as a rock. But, that's besides
the point.

I did that, I copied the files to the directories it asked for but when the
were at the right places, the following problem occured. (Failed to extract
Rescue Floppy)

I cannot say why it failed. That was the only information I got out if it,
except a few 'Bad Adress' a little spread out over the screen. I tried
quite a few times with exactly the same result.
Well, I can wait a little while until a new version is ready for testing.

Well, I tried them both with no change. They behaved exactly the same. So I
got nothing installed at all, whatever root-file I used. I don't know, it's
probably possible to install even if the rescue-file doesn't work but I
wan't things to go 'by the book' from now on.

No hurry necessary as far as I can see. I have to work at least 12 hours
each day the following week, I've got two magazines that has to be finished
so I will be tired enough to just go to sleep when I get home. But, next
weekend I'm ready to try again. However, I'm not the only one I suppose, or
at least I hope so! :)
