We spoke about that some weeks ago. You said weeks ago on IRC, that you'd implemented me idea, to offer a "write bootmanager"- only menue point on the boot floppy just for the case, that Windows95 or Windows NT nuked your main boot sector during installation. Now I got the new 2.1 installation floppy via ftp and I saw nothing at all on the top menues. The only thing I saw was the menue about installing or not installing the boot manager after leaving the partitioning menu ... But it doesn't seem to write it immediately ... What I wanted was a simple menue, to "refresh/reinstall" the bootmanager. It should be accessable in the toplevelmenue ... What about it ?! You said, it would be there on the 2.1 floppy, I didn't find it ?! Am I getting old ? ;-) Andreas /// -- andreas@knobel.gun.de /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ - Support Unix - aklemm@wup.de - \/ ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz apsfilter - magic print filter 4lpd >>> knobel is powered by FreeBSD <<<
