Xandros is a clone of Corel Linux, and inherits the same nasty feature 
from CLOS: fooze.
Take a look at http://www.archlug.org/kwiki/XandrosAndLILO
before installing Xandros on a system with other OS's and a bootloader 
other than Xandros' LILO.
When you install it on a multi-boot system, disable /sbin/fooze 
immediately after you boot into Xandros.
