I can answer for myself: I don't like it, I just have in in my machine ;-)
Let me explain: I use Mandrive Linux which just give me 2 choices: Lilo
or Grub. Unless I

Because it was easier to use than LILO.

Possibly. Grub inherited the standard Linux bootloader crown
from LILO, so there are a lot of

Nice thing about Windows ME was that it doesn't require
validation like XP does. It must only be about 7 years old,
but there's no support for it. Just as well perhaps, seems

When I finally gave up on WinMe, I switched to Win2K instead of
XP for precisely that reason.

You can do this with any sufficiently-capable boot manager. I used to
use V Communications' System Commander, once upon a time. Don't
know if it's still available. Used to be fairly cheap: about $40
(US). There are probably lots of other commercial utilities you can
find at a Best Buy or

XOSL is very good, has a very nice GUI... the only problem is, that it
must have a FAT16/32 partition, BUT...
after some years I decided to create an extra small partition for boot
managers. It is saver ;-)

I want it to be a control key.
I'm pretty sure that keyb can do that, but I'm still reading
through all of the docs

For freemacs/emacs, set the EMACS environment variable to point to
where emacs .ed files are installed. For example:

It's possible this didn't get set for you.
Alternatively, try doing a CD into the directory where emacs is

There aren't any .ed files -- not that I can find, anyway.

Hi someone, Grant,
there is no need to use separate partitions or even
harddisks for Win9x/Me and FreeDOS. The trick is that
both use FAT and both use the same drive letters, but
Win9x/Me and FreeDOS use different file names for
kernel and config. FreeDOS looks at fdconfig dot sys
first, and
