Whoops; Forgot to add that you can/must edit lilo accordingly with append='smart.......mem=$$$M" Make sure that you don't install lilo in MBR AND that you make the CompraQ partition bootable.(via fdisk/cfdisk Bij de weg gij komt uit frankrijk of nie? is on /dev/ida/....) Add that partition to Lilo as "F10" in order to be able to access it!! (Just ruined another compRaq on that one....)
