That's exactly the problem. I set up the PC's with a menu in the CONFIG.SYS file so the user can choose between Win95/DOS/Linux (if there is a version of lilo that let's the user choose from a menu (no not by pressing tab or whatever first) please let me know, in the mean time I just don't regard lilo as "user-friendly"). Even if I boot from a floppy nothing is recognised :-( Nico. > -- > Jens B.
