Hello.
This is the LAST time that I mail you guies without joining the list.

configuration screen
what kind of entry do I need to add to lilo.conf to get lilo to boot

Tim

I used to participate in another high-traffic list. The Free
Catholic Mailing List gets over 200 messages per day.
They had a solution to the high traffic that worked very well (at
