Now I had already though of that but the way the bios implementations
are setup if you do tell it to boot off the SCSI as the boot device than
you end up not being abe to boot of of the floppy disks..
The reason for this concern was I told my father that things would not
be any different for him but to just have to type linux (that part I
have yet to get to) to get into linux. Other than that he just hast to
let lilo start windows. And if he decides to boot of a floppy (which he
does regularly) he can just do that.
Thanks. again
