Thanks, Sandy, I'll keep that in mind. Still, to be on the safe side, I plan to return
version 7 (courtesy of Frys -- hey, they *are* good for something !), and have already
arranged to pick up a copy of SC 2000, cheap. If that doesn't do it, at least I won't
be out 75 bucks. The thing is, if you have to rely on Boot Mgr., that is something
that gets wiped out every time you apply a service pack to W2K, or have to repair
the NT boot loader -- something I've been doing a lot of lately. SC had the benefit
of being able to protect its own files from such damage, and (I think), of not needing
the NT boot loader to boot Win-32. It may be that the best bet is going to be something
that works entirely on its own, entirely within the MBR, and is LVM-aware. AirBoot
qualifies, and maybe one of the others on that list do as well.
