Its helpful to know that System Commander is probably not compatible with
GRUB. I don't have good results with the OS Wizard, so I don't tend to use
it. SC was *disabled* - not removed - before installing Mandrake
7.1. According to the SC docs, it is possible to use with LILO on hda, and
this worked OK with Mandrake 7.0. Neither LILO nor SC could boot Linux
with LILO on hdc - still needs to have some start-up files on the first
hard disk, it seems. I also have Windows 2000 Pro, in its own partition,
so this is really a triple-boot system, and that adds some complexities of
its own. I am using SC 2000, with the latest patches.
