I tried the floppy bioot with HD in the machine last night and fdisk reports 'no
fixed disk present'

I'll bear that in mind. Haven't worked out what material to use yet anyway, as 
my machine does run quit hot regularely and often crashes- especially when I use
the modem (3com PCMCIA). HAve been looking into the CPU idle routines on one of 
the pages, but the shareware has timed out so I can't try it..

>Danger Will Robinson...if you don't leave that unformatted bit, sooner of 

I'll ensure that I reformat teh disk and leave some space at the end. Going from
1.6 to 6.4 GB it's not going to be a great loss <g>

It is more expensive through my local Computer Exchange shop, but that's were I 
ordered it from. I have seen it on the Web of a couple of UK companies, but 
neither has sales address or e-mail anywhere visible on the page - morons!

In a nut shell... LCC doesn't know what I'm talking about, so I couldn't 
possibly know what I mean. our security guy obviously had a brain storm.. never 
mind that I'm not supposed to subscribe to list using work e-mail.. I'll 
probably unsubscribe from here soon and use my home mail - it was just eaiser to
start here for the mo.
