John....that's not true, I've been running a dual scsi drive, dual os
system with win98 and mdk (5.2, 5.3, 6.0 & finally 6.1) since February
and the only ide device I have is a ls-120 superdisk. I've never used
anything but the kernal that comes with the distribution (I upgraded 6.0
to the 2.2.9-27mdk kernal distributed in the updates, but it was in an
rpm, no compiling was done).
BTW, what mail client do you use that has so much trouble handling so
many different people's messages? I had no clue that John Karnos'
message was any different than one of yours (I'm using the mail client
in netscape (the version distributed with mdk 6.1), I just read it and
replied to it. No problems. (-:
