1. There's a further advantage. Since I get mail at the post office, Ma Bell won't list the p.o. box as address, so I'm listed without an address, which keeps most telemarketers away. There's one I would like to have a crash, dials automatically but his message doesn't come on -- just silence and a hangup after about a minute. Caller ID says "Out of Area." No number.
Visitors have to be good at map reading to find this place. 2. I find Win98Se boots more peacefully it I set the startup to boot logged. Then if there is trouble I have a boot log file to examine for clues. Am dual booting the Linux box, Win98SE and Red Hat 7.3 via Grub, and no problems on boot once I got the partition tables fixed. You might check with Partition Magic to see if there is some inconsistency in them -- that does produce the sort of problem you describe. Still have some setup problem which makes for trouble dialing my ISP except as root. Saw something in a book last night about making ppd run with root privileges even if started by ordinary user. Need to experiment with that. Also am getting lockups I can't explain, though Ctl+Alt+Del from root now shuts down properly.

Maybe its grub. Beats the heck out of me. >Let me know if you have the answer though.
