Well, it *can* boot from any disk and any partition, no matter what.

Hello,
is there a comfortable way of starting programs as root when I'm logged
in as a normal user? Currently, I start an xterm, su to root and use
that xterm to start other programs.
I'm thinking of an application I can run as root which will allow me to
start other programs (a `root menu'), som

Hey all,
I recently bought a SCSI Hard Drive (thanks much to all who gave

the end of installation. When I reboot,
