Gotcha....bet that's where its failiing....I did the first script but not
the second...error messages are telling me it can't find proper
filesystems----well I should hope not..../hda1 is Win98.........and no
hda2......;-))  Will post back later...if it works for you and
others...gotta work for me.  BTW...both tries were on pentiums with IDE
cds.........saving the 486 for when you get the fancy script....that one I
gotta load sbpcd.

Later...G
