We're much closer to having an installer now; unfortunately, it's 1.56MB, and I need to play around with the linker to see if we can make it fit on a floppy. Meanwhile, upgrading to .100 should work - although be sure to upgrade to libstdc++ at about the same time. So depending on how urgent you are, it may be better to wait while this image approaches workingness. Dan
