*thud* That's the sound of me hitting the floor as a result of actually getting this thing working. All I had to do was fix my lilo.conf file to recognize win2k on the right partition and take BootMagic off of my Win2k installation and both o/s started up fine. So, thanks mandi and abe for helping me out with this. Next stop on my installation train -- DSL!! shari _______________________________________________ techtalk mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.linux.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/techtalk
