I am running Mandrake 7.1 on a PC with several other OSs. I use Power Quest's "BootMagic" to boot into the various OSs. There is one annoying problem. If a boot into Mandrake (through Boot magic) after a hard reset (PC off/on), there is no problem. But if I try to boot into Linux after a soft reset from NT4, the boot stops at the lilo. It seems that NT4 leaves something that corrupts the memory after shutdown (surprise! not). Is there a command that would clear the memory so that I do not have to do a hard reboot everytime I need to go from NT4 to Linux? (at least until I get Linux to take over my work). An aside: before installing Mandrake 7.1, I had Turbo Linux 6 and did not have that problem with it (many others though!). So it must have had something in its boot process that cleared the memory first. Thank you. Jeff Malka <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Registered Linux user 183185
