Well, as far as I know, it would be 1+2+3+4. If you have BIOS access, you have pretty much access to *everything*. Thats the reason I decided myself against a DualBoot System with my new workstation. Still thinking about buying a new seperate computer for gaming, or using my really-really old one for this, because there is no chance in hell I boot something else beside Qubes on this machine. -Fabian -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
