Hello Adam. I have at least a temporary batch file solution in place. However, perhaps I was unclear. I do not need to know how to set up the batch file, but what command line to pass to the kernel. I assume, then, that I should pass the root paramter, followed by ro for read only and the synthesizer setup, right? On my system, it is root=/dev/hda8 which is a logical drive. That is probably why lilo would not work. I have never found any clear documentation on why I would make it rw or ro when passing to the kernel. This seems to effect the file system somehow and I know not to use ro with umsdos, but am not sure otherwise. It seems to read and write fine regardless. The DEC Express problem I mentioned seems to be a new thing with version 0.10. I never had that problem before and there seems to be no way around it. I can temporarily reset it by echoing "p" to /proc/speakup/voice but as soon as I shut up speech it resets itself again. I would like some way around this short of compiling a kernel until I have more experience on the admin end. Yes, I am positive that lilo would not work. I installed it twice and it always bombed out. I have worked around the problem by copying a working kernel to the Windows end and using loadlin. If I hold down "z" while rebooting, I have a program which I wrote to automatically exit the standard autoexec.bat and switch to Linux instead. I will compile and upload it if anyone else is interested. Also, Adam, have you got a2 (the Apple II emulator) working under Linux? I know it compiles, but has a bad habbit of constantly repeating track and sector information. There is a patch to fix that or a line to remove or something, but I am not sure what it is. If you could please look into this I would appreciate it. Thanks.
