not possible, as it does not complete booting
>Description:
Something seems to have changed in ppi - or PLIP between 4.1 and 4.4, 
and the 4.4 version will not run on my system.  The 4.4 install floppies or CD will fail when starting PLIP.  It is possible to boot off the 4.1 CD, and then install 4.4 off the 4.4 CD, but the system will lock up when starting ppi0.  
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot off 4.4 install floppies or install CD.  It happens EVERY time.
>Fix:

 When booting off the CD, try selecting the Visual Kernel Configuration
 menu option when prompted (this is the first question asked).
 
 Disable conflicts by deleting the devices with CONF, and try deleting
 ppbus and ppi.  I'm not sure if both of them will be listed.
 
 With these device gone, see if it will let you get into sysinstall.
 
 This will disable your Parallel port though.

State-Changed-Why:  
This PR was last worked on in 2002 and even at that time the submitter 
had lost interest in the issue.  There have been so many changes to 
all the code over that time that surely this PR is now obsolete.
