    I have to admit that I'm not really impressed with Fedora Project.
    My first attempt at loading it earned me a million error messages about the heads being less than
    256.. (heads<256) and I managed to get rid of that error by blowing off the partitions that
    Linux had created (using delpart) and instead of booting up on a 98 floppy and fdisking - I just left
    the drive un-partitioned.
    However, my next attempt at loading it resulted in my being told that disk 2 is wrong.. No matter
    which disk I put in or how many times I put disk 2 back in.
    Maybe I should be installing without gui?

      ... As far as speed is concerned, it is the Intel jpeg library which is responsible for the fast loading and "conversion from jpeg" times, both in Olaf's code and in the results I reported myself using the Intel jpeg wrapper at the vbAccelerator link I posted. ... Essentially, loading a large pixel size bmp is slow mostly because of the large amount of data that needs to be dragged from the disk, and the "read from disk" time disk can be speeded up greatly by loading an equivalent jpg image from disk instead of a bmp, simply because a jpg image of the same pixel size has its data greatly compressed and there is therefore very much less data to be read from disk. ... However, if you are using the VB LoadPicture method or GDI or GDI+ to load the jpg from disk then all of the time you saved by loading a comparatively small amount of data is negated by the fact that those methods are slow at decoding and converting the jpg data, so you don't end up winning. ...
