yeah.... but i make sure i can boot the machine off floppy
or cdrom ... and i gladly and happily let ms do its magic..
and when they screw it up ... i boot off fd or cdrom, rerun lilo/grub
and dual boot is back ...
-- never go online w/o being able to boot into single user
and boot off fd/cdrom and standalone system ...etc..etc..
and if they dont have root passwd, tis unlikely for them to
screw up the box, other than an automated ms updates
- if someone leave *linux on autoupdate ...
that i'm a hands off ... "i didnt touch it"
and whatever they did is what broke it
- i watch where the finger goes before i sign
the dotted lines and look for them checks
and lots of checklist items too of what's oka
and whats not acceptable ..
c ya
