Description Chris Ricker 2001-07-23 21:29:58 UTC 
Text install, updates 07192001

When creating the boot disk, problems don't result in any error message on
the user screen.  For example, try to create a boot disk with a
write-protected floppy.  An error message will be written to VC5 about
failing to format fd0, but no user-viewable error appears on VC1.
