Hello Chaps,


Having read The Pacifist's FAQ, I have been trying to run Duke3d from
Dos using a Bootdisk but have run into some trouble.

Could someone show me what a boot disk has on it? My own attempt loads
the the CD driver and runs Duke3d.exe but then stalls after the
requester:'Soundscape environment not set' (sounscape being my
soundcard).

Presumably it can't find the Soundscape.ini (?) and perhaps my
Autoexec.bat needs to carry a 'path' command or something.

So basically, can some righteous dude, tell me what needs to be on the
bootdisk and what their Autoexec.bat file reads like.

I've tried looking at the Duke help file but there is just too much
information for this tiny brain to take in.

My Autoexec.bat reads:
A:\MSCDEX.EXE /D:CD1 /L:G
Path=A:\;
SET BLASTER=A220 I5 D1 T8 P330 H5
set path=E:\GAMES2\DUKE3d; C:\Windows; A:\;
E:\
CD E:\Games2
CD E:\Games2\Duke3d
E:\GAMES2\DUKE3D\Duke3d.exe


Is there something missing?
