I must admit that back in the 16th century the Catholic church was pretty opportunistic with it's power... This turned the Dark Ages darker. It certainly didn't give God a good name, especially in recent years... almost like in the 70's, Amway distributors went door-to-door in the US and were

Most specifically here is that Caldera does the basics, install/package selection, STARTS INSTALLING, then lets you do everything else immediately. Nowhere do you need in insert disk5, or enter information AFTER everything is installed. This is a wonderful thing. I watched a movie with my wife

Lizard tops it AFAIC. I find Mandrake's friendly enough, and SuSE's as well, but Lizard is just done right. The only thing I could suggest is that they allow you to check a box at the end that allows it to boot when done, or reboot when done. I believe Caldera released Lizard to the opensource

Yes, but if you look at all those combinations, they overlap, so even though doing the math that way will give you a large amount of possibilities, perhaps removing the duplicate methods will result a little closer to 293. On Sat, 22 Jun 2002 19:41:58 -0500 David A. Bandel [EMAIL PROTECTED]
