I've also had to play around it for more than two hours, even though I have W2k on my WS. First casualty: I've had IE5.0 which worked fine (except the notorious Links folder which is more persistent than Dracula - ummm, didn't try garlic). Now anything which launches in a new window goes there without any URL, and the page remains blank (there's not even the "about:blank" in the address line).

The real screwup is the mysterious "automatic login" story. I'm trying to keep my cultural background alive, so when I installed W2k, when asked if I wanted additional scripts, I added 1250 adnd 1250 (CE Latin and Cyrillic scripts), and installed Serbian Latin keyboard. At some point it asked me for my full name, which I understood would be followed by an user name. I typed my full name with the proper c-acute instead of the "ch" approximation at the end of my last name. Later I discovered it never asked me for the username, instead it took this for the username, but created two sets of directories in "Documents and settings", one for "Dragan Nedeljkoviæ" (æ should be c-acute), and one for "Dragan Nedeljkovic". Needless to say, the password contained a letter Z, which may be in it regular position or swapped with Z (Serbian Latin is a QWERTZ keyboard layout).

Installing the components (still required in w2k) warned me about the unsafety of the automatic login, so I unchecked that and - got nothing. It rebooted but didn't continue. Probably because it tried to log me in as "...ovic" instead of "..oviæ", and I couldn't figure the password for the former (and of course those two guys appear as only one in User Manager, the first one is actually a shadow). So I clicked the autologin (about the third time) and it agreed to run, but still couldn't do any, because it again tried to log me under the phantom username (-ovic) which has no known password.

Eventually I logged as admin, and it started working, and...

>Second problem: Even though I had 700 MB clear on my boot disk it filled up my Temp file with stuff and then said I didn't have enough space to complete the install. Changing my Temp file to D drive solved that problem.

...I had about 680MB clear on my boot disk, and my temp drive was E:, it still wanted extra space on C:, so I spent another hour moving stuff around, until it was happy with about 900M (and it finished with 700MB free on C:). Should I say that D: and E: had about 4G free each?

Other than that, it was all smooth :). Haven't noticed any other glitches.
