You are tenacious, Dave, great :-)
Some may say tenacious, others would say that I am too stupid to know when to give up. ;)
You wanted to but were kind enough to honour the efforts of list members :-)

Still no joy with Lilo ?
Did give LiLo a shot, but the situation is even worse. On boot I get half a screen full of 01s and then total lockup, requiring a hardware reset. Thanks for trying to help, but I am sad to say Microsoft has won this box.
Did anyone ever attempt to make a systematic survey
of reasons why Linux remains such a small player ?
Of course corruption on a massive scale is involved
in selling Windows to governments and corporations.
But why is the percentage of surfers using Linux so small ?
Is it mainly because of the games or are the shortcomings
of Linux an important factor and which ones most ?

Kind regards Philippe
