How many here are running ot trying to install the beta?
I'm trying to install it on my 166MMX seems to be taking longer then expected.

And what do yous think of it?

Ok it took several trys of installations over a period of almost 10hours to install. This is the system it is running on. This system now has 3 OS's the other 2 are Windows 98 Second Edition/Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 3.

Intel Pentium MMX 166MHz
128MB SD RAM
10GB Western Digital HD
Netgear FA311 PCI 10/100mbit NIC
D-Link DE220 ISA PnP 10mbit NIC
Voodoo Banshee 16MB PCI
Creative ISA Vibra Sound Blaster 16
Adaptec SCSI PCI Card
3 1/2 Disk Drive
LS 120 Super Floppy
8x Generic CD-ROM
4x Write Matshita CD-R

Now everything seem to be working fine including 32bit 800x600 video color, sound and drives. However both network cards fail to load but they work fine under Win98SE/Win2k. I tried the latest Netgear drivers and they have no effect I gunna look for D-Link drivers now.

So anyone got this working good and what NIC yous using in it?

Are you guys talking about RC1, or a beta?

I am getting RC1 in the mail any day now; keen to hear some preliminary opinions of it.

Ive done 2 installations, first one went perfectly, no problems. Then I started fooling around with some asp.net stuff, didnt know what I was doing and lost a lot of performance from the server.

Reinstalled, setup as dhcp and dns, with routing and remote acces for connection sharing, been up for 175hrs now, no probs so far.
