HI Pat,
Sounds like good advice , to me.
BTW, I just installed PQ Boot magic, over riding the MBR, and LiLO.
I did this purposely as I am more familiar with it rather than lilo.
Now I can get it to boot the LInux for me.
Win98 as default is fine.
Since I overwrote the MBR, I am assuming the linus ext2 part is
not bootAble?
Any advice will be appreciated.
Thanks,
Will
