Boot up from the 3.1 diskette. 2. Use the SYS command to transfer the system to your hard disk. 3. Copy all of the programs you want from the diskette to the hard disk. Even programs that seem not to have changed may be version dependent, so when it doubt, copy them all. 4. Put the floppy away and reboot from hard disk. This worked fine for me on many machines. Takes about 5 minutes. Note that you cannot upgrade from 2.x this way because the space reserved for the operating system on the hard disk isn't enough. John Levine, ima!johnl
