You can defeat the auto-config feature of setup 2.1 by using the "-n" switch
on the command line.  This will make setup act more like the 2.03 versions
which ask you questions about all your hardware.  You can therefore run setup
on a machine other than the one you actually intend to use.

Sorry, but it's not that simple.  Setup acts something like a linker, pulling
in gdi.exe, kernel.exe, user.exe, and a lot of drivers, fonts, etc to make 
the following binaries:

	win.com, win200.bin, win200.ovl, winoldap.mod, winoldap.grb

If you run setup -n on a regular PC with hard disk, you should then be able 
to xcopy the entire directory onto your bournoulli.  Don't forget the PIF
subdirectory....
