You are tenacious, Dave, great :-)
Some may say tenacious, others would say that I am too stupid to know
when to give up. ;)
You wanted to but were kind enough to honour the efforts of list members
:-)
Still no joy with Lilo ?
Did give LiLo a shot, but the situation is even worse. On boot I get
half a screen full of 01s and then total lockup, requiring a hardware
reset. Thanks for trying to help, but I am sad to say Microsoft has
won this box.
Did anyone ever attempt to make a systematic survey
of reasons why Linux remains such a small player ?
Of course corruption on a massive scale is involved
in selling Windows to governments and corporations.
But why is the percentage of surfers using Linux so small ?
Is it mainly because of the games or are the shortcomings
of Linux an important factor and which ones most ?
It's declining.
Every battle-field systems I've seen in the US military
is NOT a Windows systems. Solaris and Linux can be found
on the battlefield, but no Windows.
And recently, it was decided that all fileservers for
offices should be migrated from Windows to OS X to
reduce the Army's vulnerability to virus attacks.
When soldiers lives are on the line, the decision
makers get nervous when the massive problems with
Windows are raised... the US military is one place
where you CAN get reamed for buying Microsoft.
