I'll go to the site this PM and get it.... Thanks. I'll try it tomorrow
and
get back to you with the results....
OFF TOPIC: BTW, if you run the NT that came with it per the Bill Tax,
BE SURE to get the updated sound drivers. I inserted
a PnP SoundBlaster (as a second sound card) and OSS moved around
my PnP devices. I could no longer boot NT, even when I removed the
new sound card. I could not get NT to start with the repair disk, nor
with
the initial install disk. I eventually had to re-load NT. Makes me
love
Linux more and more each day.... (This was NT 4.0, SP 3 -- the same
version I can blue screen by clicking on a directory on a RockRidge/ISO
CD-R
that I burned on an old version of XCDROAST. I can also blue screen it
every few days when Dell DMI checks for my parallel port ZIP but no
disk is in the drive).
