Re: Problems with Frozen



DOS is more forgiving of bad disks than linux is.  This is about the only
"disk" problem you might have.  The only one I've heard of so far.  If you
put it on a bad disk use another one.  Don't use DOS as aguage of a good
disk or bad disk, it might be fine for DOS but not for linux.

Disable all the BIOS goodies according to the instructions and it should
go well.
