Ah! My cue I think. Being a novice user. I currently run the Mandrake distro. I'm not entirely clear where LinuxBios leaves off and the normal distros take over. Or even if it works that way at all. I *very* much like the idea of having as much of my system as possible open-source, and I'm also keen on the fast start-up the website suggests However, I'm concerend at the possibility of trying to re-flash my bios, making a mistake and finding I have an unusable motherboard. Can someone help me get a clearer understanding of what is involved? -- Terry Blunt My nightmare is the time when you walk into a room, reach towards a quiescent computer and a deep, sonorous voice intones: 'You are about to make a mistake' _______________________________________________ Linuxbios mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.clustermatic.org/mailman/listinfo/linuxbios
