     Yes I did.  Everytime it said it was scanning my system, it 
     froze.  ctrl-alt-del didn't even work.  I ended up moving 
     all the files to c:\opendos, unpacking the ex_ and other 
     files, renaming the autoexec.bat file on the floppy and 
     using it as a boot disk.  Now to use it I use the boot 
     floppy.  If I want to use DOS6.22 I boot off the hard drive. 
      I haven't had time to investigate in depth but the boot 
     floppy works for now.

I finally got OpenDOS and tried to install it. It booted up fine, but after 
the setup files got copied to c:\ and expanded, it just froze up, after 
setup2.exe was executed. This happened repeatedly. Did anyone else have this 
problem?
