Hello from Gregg C Levine Actually, yes it was posted to the list, and I did read it. You do understand the theme behind this mail list, don't you? It concerns itself with the idea that the legacy bios on a machine can be replaced with something that will boot straight into Linux, even faster then the legacy bios, it replaced. (And that's my opinion only, Ron.) If I remember correctly there are a few SiS based boards out there, which have an alternate form of video output, which is composite video based, but I don't remember which ones. Can you repost your message, but in simpler terms? I think everyone else missed it, because of its original phrasing. ------------------- Gregg C Levine [EMAIL PROTECTED] ------------------------------------------------------------ "The Force will be with you...Always."
