Lilo works well) However there's an annoying thing at boot time which I can't explain. Turn it on and it goes through the BIOS, then the screen clears and I can see the HDD LED blip, blink, blink, blink once a second or so - for about 20 seconds then it prints the Lilo prompt... After that it's fine - Lilo loads Linux or XP at full speed and off it goes, but it's that first initial load of Lilo... It did it when I first got it - running Etch, but I remember doing something to fix it, but I can't for the life of me remember what )-: The "slowness" came back when I loaded Lenny onto it. It's annoying, but I can live with it though. (And GRUB isn't an option for me right now, so don't suggest that!)
