A group of newbies (those who actually learn as they go along)
should conspire and write a real Newbie ICHTU (it could happen

Oh yes, it is! ;-) At least as far as my BIOS is concerned.
I can insert a bootup disk (for either Linux/Lilo or MS-DOS/
WinDoze) and my system will boot from it.

Understanding that the drive is "bootable", is there even a
slight possibility that Linux will *grow* in a direction that
will *support* this medium?

I had to use: mkbootdisk --device /dev/hdc 2.2.9-19mdk
ThanX for the reply!
