Take a look at the files already on diskette 2. there will be a bunch of
drivers for devices that you don't have the hardware for (SCSI HABs,
etc.). Delete them. After the process is complete, you will also need to
delete or rem the corresponding lines in the CONFIG.SYS file. If there
are .SNP files, delete the ones that you don't have hardware for. These
should be fairly obvious from the file names: AHAxxx.SNP for Adaptec
SCSI HABs, FDXXX.SNP for Future Domain HABs, etc. These files are
typically smaller, but you may need the space. Edit the SNOOP.LST (after
the diskettes are complete) to comment out (with ;) the ones you have
removed.
