Hmmm, will have a look at this XOSL. i will post anymore information that i can get about this.
might get some problems i am using grub dont know if they support it, i know lilo is support i guess its not to major to switch.
it looks like any way i go it will require coffee, eye clamps, gandhi like patience.
Also trying to download a remastered copy of knoppix with all of the required fixes. if possible?
