A search for Smart Boot Manager got me this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/btmgr/ I've used this on an older laptop that wouldn't boot from a CD (not in BIOS of the PC.) Works great - gives you a menu choice of boot devices. Hope this helps. You might want to check out some of the lighter Linux distributions that work great with older hardware which you must have since you can't boot from a CD. Check out Damn Small Linux and Puppy Linux. You can also use standard Linux distros such as Debian and choose to use a more lightweight desktop manager such as IceWM, FluxBox, and XFCE. -*-Bill To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.
