Yup couple of us owls still out prowling...:-))
Will give that a try right smartly....will download tonite and try early
tomorrow, this owl's gonna roost shortly...
Had 0.0.9...that looked real good...but never got to install. I'm gonna
pull some ram out of my P166...try and get it down to 16meg..just for this
experiment..
Thoughts.........had grub installed only once...had a bunch of trouble
with it and had a devil of a time getting rid of it....seems a low-level
format was the final solution.. My preference would be lilo....G
