Brian -

I am trying to do this with an old Hitachi 133 laptop. I think I have everything figured out except the rar file creation. I am having trouble figuring out how to name the files as you say by checking something in the advanced tab. I cannot seem to find the option you are talking about. I am a beginner so be gentle. Thanks

BTW - I am using WinRAR

Chris, Brian and others...

Just a question. Does these old laptops have pcmcia slots? Do you have access to a pcmcia network card? Would booting from tomsbrt "see" the network card and thus the network/internet?

Yes I do have a PCMCIA nic card, perhaps my (your) next HOWTO would be how to network boot using tomsbrt.  I know nothing about that method, but know the floppy method works (takes a bit of work though)

When you are RARing the files there is a tab to hit that will allow you to set use old archive names. Just poke around and you will find it

Thanks, Brian. I will give it another look this evening. I don't mind working a little if I can get the desired result!  :)
