After using Linux for a few weeks, I have wiped all traces of Windows from my HD. Linux is _far_ better for the things I want to do. I did keep a tiny DOS partition, mostly for running Euphoria stuff. I am wondering: since Euphoria is written in C, how hard could it be for Rob to complete Pete's port to Linux? I know there is some concern about "free software", but hey, there are hundreds of Linux apps you must _pay_ for already. They don't feel any obligation to give you the source code for these. Considering the sudden explosion of interest in Linux, it would seem to be an excellent strategic move for RDS. >I accidentally nuked the LILO boot track on my machine while reloading >Win95, I think it was not you, but Win95 that nuked the boot track. And I don't think it was an accident. Win just wants to hog the HD. Same thing happened to me. You should be able to restore LILO from a boot disk. I ran setup and skipped to the part about writing LILO to the mbr. Regards, Irv
