I have not tried looking at the drive with anything except RedHat, which I'm
using from the disk. (LILO uses the BIOS, unfortunately, so I have to have my
/boot directory on hda.) My use of BL/Slackware is on hold because I don't 
have
a fast enough Internet connection to download packages and my current project
is building an entire system from source -- preferably twice, because I don't
like relying on RedHat, and I'm forced to use them (or Caldera, which gives 
you
no choice of which packages to install in the original installation) because
those two are the only distributions I have source on hand for. Once I get off
to college, where I'll have a much faster connection, I can get back to nicer
distributions.

As I've been saying all along.
