Hi Ross: If you are using loadlin, you should be able to put that command right on the loadlin command line. I'd write a batch file and just add that to the command line. Lilo boots directly from your hard drive and Loadlin, as you well know boots from a command line. Hope this helps Regards, martin On Thu, 5 Sep 2002, Ross Eadie wrote: > > Hi folks, > > gotta love those newbees.
