I am going to write at the top of this so that I might clear up
somethings.
I balmed Aurora Because:
Always I would get the "pick one of me to load graphic"
SOMETIMES the graphic with all of the names would load, sometimes it
would crash with NO graphic displayed.
SOMETIMES the graphic would load, several lines of text would be
displayed below the graphic and then a crash. Since I can not see what
was happening I don't know what failed.
So, from Mandrake Control Center I set LiLo Text for the boot menu.
SOMETIMES I would get the text Lilo "pick one" menu. SOMETIMES I would
get the graphic "pick one" menu.
In LiLO text, after the graphic with the names, SOMETIMES I would get a
text by line boot SOMETIMES it would go back to the graphics boot.
I am sorry for the SHOUTING it was meant as to drive home the points. I
had no problems with any previous L-M versions. I picked Aurora/my system
to blame for this problem On a fresh install, as in format and install
again, Aurora MIGHT work once, twice or not at all. A boot from the 'boot
disk', which does NOT have Aurora, works with not problem.
