It is a dual boot with Win98 on the other partition. It seemed pretty strong, but I have some problems: 1. The power down sequence seems to hose some part of the bios or whatever. When I shutdown and then reboot to Win98 it thinks it has been taken down and corrupted, so it wants to come back up in SAFE mode. 2. The /dev directory no longer has an xl0 device for the mini-PCI ethernet on the motherboard. Completely disappeared. Where did it go? tia, CHris
