	First, you should read the setup.txt file on disk #1.  It has
important info for you and probably your biggest problem -- Stacker.

	Since you are running Stacker, you have to configure it in some
certain manual that I read in setup.txt but don't recall.  Anyway, it's
there for you to read.  

	Furthermore, try booting off of a floppy so that EMM386 is installed,
not 386MAX.  If possible, do not use Stacker.  (Obviously, you must run
Stacker to install on a Stacker drive..)  Win 3.1 should install Ok with
a standar setup like this.

Hope this helps,
Heath

P.S. My 3.1 upgrade installed A-OK, and I am running MSDOS 5.0, EMM386,
no stacker, tons of TSRs, with a nearly full hard drive, a TSeng 4000
Graphics Card, and SETUP just sailed right through it all.  So, my
guess is: Stacker or 386MAX is the culprit.
