Unregistered user Ah, I see. The pooey installer didn't rename 'R0370HOOK' to 'Choices', so it was trying to boot using a blank choices directory!

Unregistered user My problem is that !Boot is my forte, so I don't like anything messing with it without me knowing what it's doing.

Anyway, it seems to be working as it should do now.

Unregistered user At the moment I'm in the middle of attempting to install the standard !Boot structure, so I can attempt to get a serial network between the PC and Acorn. It's not that I've bolted so many things onto my current !Boot that it will take ages to get it to work again, it's that I've forgotten the things I have put in smile

The Queen serial port works better. tongue

Why were you messing about with this !Bootyness last night anyway? Surely you had more important things to do?

Unregistered user I was messing round with it while waiting for you to give me all clear wink

I'll contact the person who wrote the tutorial thing I was trying to follow (http://www.serial-networking.fsnet.co.uk/)...
