OK, thanks, that rules that out then.  The error I get is:

Error in Copy : Trying to copy 'dfs::0.Copy-rif'
                       : File 'nfs:PanosLib.Copy-rif' already exists,
detected by 'File'

Suffice to say, nfs:PanosLib.Copy-rif doesn't already exist...  As I say,
this all worked installing onto ADFS. Very peculiar. I've just tried
unzipping Jonathan's System11.zip onto the MDFS (using a RiscPC), that
boots OK and I can run all the Welcome suite.

I can then copy Copy-rif on its own into a new directory (from the DFS
floppy), but trying it after having copied Config-rif (and having deleted
the original), it starts claiming it already exists again. Jonathan - is
there a way you can think of that I can pin this down to NFS/Panos
weirdness? If I delete the _rif directory, everything goes back to being
happy and I can copy Copy-rif again. If _rif exists, even if I create it
myself on the MDFS, Copy-rif won't copy! Copying any other rif file, and it
doesn't care if _rif exists. Really odd.


Best,
Daniel
