_____________________________________________________


Unfortunately feedback is unpopular.
If you have a problem, then do not assume that someone else
has reported it !!


The following question will help to understand your problem.
A statement "vamos does not work" is hard to interpret...
Not all questions may apply to your problem.
 

1. Which version of Vamos are you using ?



2. Vamos has two components: the installer and the bootmanager.
   Which of them does not work ?



3. If you have problems with the installer:
 
3a: If the installer hangs, please note what message you can see
    at the screen and what message is displayed in the bottom line.

3b: Do you have any special harddisk device or mass storage device ?
    (e.g. a ZIP drive, ....)

3c: What kind of hardware are you using ?
    (e.g. a Laptop from noname, IBM XT from 1970, ....)

3d: Which version of DOS / Windows95 are you using to execute the installer ?

3e: Are you using any special drivers ?
    (e.g. Diskmanager, EIDE/SCSI driver from noname, ...)


4. If you have problems while booting (with the boomanager)

4a: If the bootmanager hangs: What is the last action on your display
    (Vamos shows some dots while booting: "Vamos..... .... ....")
    If vamos hangs with the dots still being displayed then please report
    the sequence of dots and blanks.

4b: In most cases the problem depends on the special harddisk 
    configuration. So it's probably helpful to generate an information
    file of your configuration:
        VAMOS  -d  >  infofile.txt
    creates a file with partition information. You can attach the file
    to the bug report.

4c: If one of the systems does not boot, then it may be helpful to know 
    something about the boot configuration settings:
      selected boot partition:   (e.g. hd1:P3)
      Boot support: "none", "OS/2...", "auto activate"
      list of hidden partitions:
