As far as I know both formats are 16bit 44kHz uncompressed audio. So they're just a different way of storing it, neither one should have an advantage over the other. --mike On 09 Aug 2001 09:33:19 -0700, Peter Jay Salzman wrote: > when ripping cd's with cdparanoia, the default is wav format. >

You're welcome. The "rescue" disk is simply a generic boot kernel to get your system running. Is your lilo.conf set to linear? Are you root when you try and update the boot sector? What does the error say when lilo can't install the boot sector. On 09 Aug 2001 19:32:58 +0300, David Randelman w

Do you have "helpfull" boot sector protection turned on in the BIOS of the machine? Are you loading the correct parallel port modules? You'll need parport and a bunch of other ones. The kernel menuconfig should be able to explain it to you better than I can pull it out of a hat. --mike On 09 A
