Well thanks for the info Bill, but for me, until it's yummy, it's yucky...
I don't live in windows. So far I haven't made my scanner work in linux.
Otherwise I only go there on every third solar eclips... ;-)
So for me it's only a petty annoyance to disable the cable modem and
boot win98... Get what ever done and get out ASAP, re-enable the cable
modem AFTER I get to the lilo menu IF I'm selecting a linux boot option.
