You prompted me to do what I had been reluctant to face:  to try to copy
from the dual boot Demon CD and upgrade my Turnpike and IE.  Two days later
(at least six gruelling hours of letting Wizards creakily cast their
spells) I have them installed.  Turnpike definitely works but I need a
breather before having a go at the replacement to my IE 3.0.  But the point
is that they did transfer, even though at times I thought nothing was
happening:  no dialogue box or associated graphic on the standard screen at
times; and clicking OK or close window took ages, so that it was easy to
click a following instruction before the first had been completed. 
Treacle!

I'm using a 7200/90 with 49Mb of installed RAM.

Maybe just time is needed?
