Hey Leon,

Thanks for that, as I had installed a second linux as a beta tesst and as 
usual the brain was in neutral, forgot it would instll its own boor mbr. 
Stuffed mine up and even though I managed to get to boot to my ordinary 
booted linux I could not remember the command, could not get to the SxS sites 
either for some reason.

As for the updated Caldera, I am at last in the final throws of making the 
base install rpms, done all the esoteric hard ones, and finding out how and 
what to write to cd for install. I have been held up for 4 weeks changing 
over my own ISP to another supplier, got pissed off with the service of the 
last one. That will be finalised this week but I also have 3 totyal builds to 
do two of which are to be linux servers, where windows has been the preferred 
OS. Hence it will be a short while yet, never thought when I first mooted that 
I was trying this that it would take so long.
