I have discovered, purely by accident, that if I have my Windows 98 O/S disc in the CD drive as the Linux system is powering up, a program on the Win98 disc will gain control and offer me the choices " Boot from Hard disc, or Boot from CD ROM". On selecting the Hard disc choice, the Linux systems boots. I briefly see the GRUB prompt on the screen as the process starts, but it quickly scrolls off as the other start-up messages are output.
I would rather the system start without the need for a CD in the drive. Mike This message and any enclosures are intended only for the addressee.
