drive needs to be disabled to allow Linux to boot then I suspect
that you probably installed Linux with the primary drive
disabled as well, right? If that's so, then it'll probably be

I don't know about making your own, probably need some programming

be that you would have to install BeOS to configure it. You could
uninstall BeOS
Pardon my intrusion, could one of you tell me how you set up your LAN? Did
you let Mandrake configure that on install, or did you manually do it after
