Overall, agreed. Tho AFAICT the new drive spins slower (5400rpm vs

that in *some* cases it can be slower.
Now, I have no idea whether that's the cause of the glitches.

Actually, come to think of it, even though the new drive wouldn't boot at
first, it still got as far as "Loading Linux", so I guess it might not be

not to "Uncompressing Linux". Changing the image= in my lilo.conf from
