Thanks! Took a quick look and looks interestign; saved for later

Yeah, if a person is being lazy... or doesn't want to deal with a

And having rooted around elsewhere.... apparently there's a whole series

BTDT! Reminds me of when WFWG came out: for me only worked if I started
at DOS (6.x? - forgotten) then loaded WFWG but crashed/locked up if I
tried WFWG and shell to DOS.

Okay, you're officially weird too. Now I'm not so alone. :D

I cheated and use a solid state drive on some of the systems here as a
boot drive. My main system has a SSD for booting (wheeee!) an HDD for
data. The system used as MythTV Backend is HDD, mainly because doesn't
get booted all that often so why spend the extra money. Others are SSD
only, HDD only, or combination dependant on their use.

Yeah, kind of figured a bunch of hoops to go through. Like you it would
be too much work at the current time. Nice to be able to have the
option at least.
