No.  Official ones from Libranet

I have Wincrap 98 on another drive set for dual boot.  I will try it first.

It started a day after the install.

Will do, but it is a home brewed unit.

I also plan on doing a apt-get -check.  It crapped out while doing an 
apt-get upgrade, about 1/2 way through.  Tried to repair dpkg, but it still

Got lots of good input.  I will be checking it out later.  I will keep you 
advised.

By the way Leon, your posting had a lot to do with my trying Libranet.  It 
looks great.  Just need to fix this issue.
