I remember that even my friend (Abit m/b, linux 8.2) has problems when rebooting using the button and the menu in the login window. It once (the oly time he used this feature..) destroyed the MBR!! (this happened when he chose "Windows" from the list, he never rebooted with linux.. of course). If he turn off the pc and power up again nothing bad happens. ...
... ... I got the solution!!! Mandrake hacked the gdm logn window: if you try to reboot with windblows you'll get your pc destroyed!! Very Microsoft-ish behavior!! :-))))))))))) Olaf At 10.52 11/09/2002, you wrote: >Shutting down normally and then turning the system on is okay, everything >loads.
