I spend much time to bring 4 OS's onto my Pentium 90 system. DOS/Windows, FreeBSD, Windows NT, Linux Slackware. When I have to reinstall Windows NT for some reason, then FreeBSD's boot manager will be deleted from MBR. Then it would be very nice if you could add a menue in th boot floppy to again write the boot manager into mbr ... It would save a lot of time and would be very usefull, since all MessyDOS OS's up to NT and Windows 95 still think, they are the only one's. Again ---> 2.0.5 ---> great work. I think I'll start supping current this evening to see, whats going on ;-) Thanks Andreas /// -- Andreas Klemm You have lpd and need an intelligent print filter ?!!
