Sider situation



    Alright folks, I come to you with a question about the 10 meg Sider
which just arrived on my doorstep and now graces slot 7 of my machine:

    Upon running the installation program, the partitioner (why the heck
does it INSIST upon giving me DOS, Pascal, and CP/M?!) claims I can have
18 megs as ProDOS -- again, my drive is a 10 meg, so what can be done to
inform the installer that I don't own a 20 meg drive?

    The problem which keeps happening is, the installation program bails
when it comes to the "Pascal partition 1" because it's trying to mark
off territory which does not exist (it's beyond the tenth meg obviously)
and since the installer goes no further I can't finish the process and
make the ProDOS partition usable/recognisable.

    Any help is appreciated; I have the software but not the manual.

                                                      << mushroom >>
