Hi,
Anyone using CD-Rewritables with Linux? Maybe Ill buy a HP CD-RW 7110e
(external, plugs on the parallel port).
Also, I would like to dump the Windows stuff from my PC in favor of a 100%
pure Linux way. But if CD-RWs doesnt work with Linux... :-(

The trick here is that when you get to the boot: prompt on the rescue
disk you enter floppy0 thus
boot: floppy0
From here you just follow the bouncing ball, but note that you will be
asked for the lmemroot.bin disk during the installation.
Get back to me if you want any more info.

For template classes, the class has to be in the header file only, it
can't have separate files for header and class file.
When you want to use the template class, only include the header file,
and compile only the test file, not the template class file.
