This is not needed except on the very few systems that have no display support in their boot ROMs. For example all PC class machines have VGA/VESA support at boot time so they don't need it. I have been told that such machines exist but no one have given me an example of one. ===== Jon Smirl [EMAIL PROTECTED] __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
