UMM, Jason, with all due respect etc. etc... For a machine of that age it's _*really*_ important to have the boot stuff on its own small partition at the beginning of the disk to avoid possible problems with buggy BIOS code being unable to access the bootable file if it's not near the beginning of the disk. I think I'm right in saying that your beloved Mandrake, a simply splendid example of French design and production btw, does that by default. -- C. S.
