(The specific problem with booting off the hard disk, btw, was that (in Debian) I just get LI 99 99 99 ..... on the screen, with RedHat I just got LI or GR (depending which I selected at install time) and then it hung. Installing GRUB myself fixed it.) Chris -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
