I lied, it was on in the BIOS, disabling it cured the problem, but it
looks like the old problem which if you had a floppy drive installed,
you needed to insert a non-bootable formatted floppy to stop this happening.
Going back 2 or 3 years, this email address used to be reported as SPAM
on the kernel mailing list by the new filter they installed. As my ISP
reports a problem nationwide which doesn't allow me to use he alternate
email address, I used this one hoping it will let my mail through.

Sid.
