<DIV>Hi, Greg</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm using SCSI as well, and its an older system. IBM PC Server 315 </DIV>
<DIV>So after reading min system requirements. I have Mandrake 7.0 laying around here so I think I'll install it on this system. Its an Pentuim Pro 200Mhz (1) 128mb ram and a 4mb Video Card. So I think the latest and greatest will not work anyway. Also this system will have only Linux on it so I need not worry about Lilo, but was just interested as to the groups opinion. I will be installing Linux on a few systems, some older and some newer. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>By the way, do you think SuSE 6.1 Full retail version will do ok on a Pentium 1 mmx 200Mhz? 4mb video 128+ ram? I have SuSE sitting around as well. Oh...where can you get GOOD scsi drives here locally WNY reasonable! SCSI-3. I need one more Seagate ST34371N to complete this system. </DIV>

I've had nothing but trouble with grub and SCSI partitions. <BR>Maybe I'm too old and inflexible, but the configuration was very picky <BR>and arcane to my mind.

Somehow, <BR>saving and exiting vim and typing "lilo -v" doesn't seem very hard at <BR>all. I have had XP pro booting as an option ... about 2 years ago ... <BR>from lilo, and I didn't have any troubles.
