Re: Another FAT32 question...



Hi,
Thanks for the help. I actually figured this out myself but now I know
that it was the right way to do it.
People would probably avoid many of these problems if the installation
program was cleaver enough to list the fat32 partition as a possible
source for the base installation. Simply selecting it and typing in the
path to the directory should do the trick.
