OK. Well, I was given what I believe to be an appropriate diskette and tried it (I
think it is an XP6 disk, but I'm not sure). It has the effect of booting up my computer
perfectly, but does not give me the opportunity of going to any kind of console or
writing 'R'. It just boots up the PC, perfectly; however I imagine the idea is not
that I continue using that for the next 10 years and when I try to boot up without
the diskette afterwards, I'm back to the same problem.
So I'm very confused about the function of this diskette and whether it is indeed
the one I want. If it is, I don't know how to use it. Can I provide you with any
further information which would enable you to help me further? (Woe is me.)
