Ok just a fellow up. I quickly ran the DVD version of MDK 10.1, with the new
drive that IBM sent me, and it now doesn't hang on the install, but does
prompt me for the 'files' from the floppy.

My question are those files required? Or can I just tell it to ignore and go
on? I've got a T22.

Thanks.
