There has to be a way to update the bios on this 8 year old SOB. some dos level utilities will not emulate if a:\ is changed and maybe a part of problem with using a cd for 'a:'. there is a cd called 'ultimate boot cd' available from; http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ and http://sourceforge.net/projects/ubcd/ it was recommended thru this list, but thanks to my forgetfulness, i do not recall who recommended it. i do need to start making notes of such. also, when i reboot this box and back up this install's '/home/geo' and '/home/users', i will start other install's and go thru stored emails to find who recommended. i will say this, tho i do not recall name of recommender, he has passed along a lot of other good advise to me and others here, so i will say 'ubcd' just may have what you need. i have a copy of 4.1.1 and i can say that from looking at it, it is loaded. problem is, i have yet to try it out, so i can not say how well it works. from '/website/index.html' that is on cd, there are 5 different dos boot disk images. no ms dos due to 'commercial nature', but it does show a link to; http://www.veder.com/nwdsk/ which is worth having a look at. [ http://www.veder.com/nwdsk/#ms.img ] also, i do have several 6.22 disks and a winme recovery disk that i would be happy to run 'dd' on them and send you images. > Did I mention that I think M$ is a bunch of paranoid rectums? anyone who uses linux knows that. > And I've been told by the medics, several times now that alcohol reduces the > effectiveness of most antibiotics.
