So I've noticed. That's why I asked about "distro apps". If Star Office
is a "distro app" there's not going to be much of anything that they're
going to be putting in /opt :-)

Me neither until this one. I played with it today (when I should have
been working) and found that I can eliminate it by using XFree3.3 or 4.01
without graphics acceleration.

This is a pre-X problem. Once I get X loaded everything works
fine. Things seem to be going nuts when the simple text windows of grub
or lilo are being run. That's why I can get past it by booting from a
floppy, which seems to have that menu local. My suspicion is that it's
some loose pointer to the menu itself but I can't confirm it.

This machine has a Voodoo3000 and it's worked well with everything
else. In fact, it works fine once I'm in 7.2 :-)

That works on this system as well, though since my monitor and card are
listed I just select them and that works too.

Kinda like me.
