Re: MS-CFS needing 234megs of C: drive

[rlbeck]

Hi all,

I tried to install MS-CFS into my J: drive which has 1.7 Gig free (that's
Gig not megs) but the install program keep telling me that I need 234 megs free


in my C: drive.
Is anyone else having this trouble? Does MS-CFS really need 234 megs of
free space in C: drive to install? Unfortunately, my C: is rather small so
there's no way I could make 234 megs of free space in there. Please help.

Davelister, I did a custom install to my D: drive and had no problems. Not
sure what to say or how I can help. Just responding. My C: drive is small
(now) also.

Thanks for this thread, gents. I haven't installed MSCFS yet but I hope
Microsoft hasn't pulled the old "C:Drive Only Trick" on us like they did with
MSWord (that's why I *still* use WordPerfect). I guess this thread begs the
question: Is MSCFS a C:Drive Only program? Bill I.

Dave, I don't understand why you are getting that type of response. In
the test for the review, I also used a 1.7GB drive, and it also contained
FS98, my web browser which is Netscape 4.02 a host of other programs and
utilities. The manual specifies a Typical install will require 244MB and
about 208MB for a custom. Never did have the problem you mention.

Good Luck

Is there a minimum installation of CFS? There's no way I can install 200+ megs
onto my hard drive, and I don't want to buy a new HD, as I've heard that they
can cause problems. (I can top 1.7 GB: my hard drive is 1.4...). Having to use
the CD each time doesn't bother me, so is there a...50-100 MB installation???

Tony, according to the manual that came with the Beta version, the max
space is 244mb and the minimum install is 207mb. Sorry. Jesse.

Well, thanks anyway Jesse. Looks like I'll be cleaning out some files soon...

You need a slower CDRom speed... probably. I had to put my 16x back into my
machine to install. After installation, the 32x was put back in. It works
fine now.
