Subject:	SCOUG-Help: where is ecs 1.1 manual?

at an impasse installing ecs 1.1 on a TP760E. The initial attempts got
nowhere, but after carefully perused the ecomstation.install.news and
picked up a few helpful tidbits and made some progress, but not success.
I've posted queries but my posts are unanswered--also a request to Mensys
is without response. Present state: downloaded the CDs, made boot
floppies (tried others, but option 2, no menu seems best), after applying
tips gleaned from the newslist (modifications to config.sys on floppy 1) I
get to the point of adding the NIC driver, specifying protocols etc. then
get the msg, "while executing ?:\ecs\install\rsp\phase1.cmd
2>&1>?:\var\log\phase1." The "?" sugests the "missing drive letter"
problem, but I haven't found more information about it. I see no
informative entries in either z:\log or c:\log (Z is the ramdisk and C is
the install partition). Infer from fragments in news threads that there
is a BOOT_UPDATE somewhere that might have the solution, but I can't find
it. Neither can I find the Mensys manual which, I gather, describes
BOOT_UPDATE. Can anyone share a copy of this manual, or point me to the
cause of the failure?

I put off installing 1.1 to avoid jeopardizing the peg puzzle project
(glad I did), but now I'd really like to do the upgrade and go on.

ever patient,
Ben A.
