Then, I just had to configure lilo and I had a woody box running. (I also had to delete his user account and add mine, but you won't need to do that) It's worth trying... Just don't forget tto add all the SCSI stuff into the kernel. > Regards, > Wm HTH, J. -- Jeronimo Pellegrini Institute of Computing - Unicamp - Brazil http://www.ic.unicamp.br/~jeronimo mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
