Hi Joseph,
No I have NOT installed it yet,the LI was when I tried to install from
the CD.
I'm not worried about booting,because I have 30 Linux installed
and boot them with Loadlin,anywhere on the drive.
I would like to try Your Linux,but when I saw it was going to Format
The whole Drive,that would be a lot of work installing the others.
I think I got to number 4 on the install menu.
Any help would be welcome
Donald
