Fw: [SLE] I ... (dual boot with WinME) UPDATE!!

Oliver,
How would this affect my dual-boot system?
Unfortunately I need the WinME installation as I only have a winmodem and I keep
track of personal and biz accounts in MS Money.
BTW with the "booting installed sys" from CD1 I also cannot "modprobe ppa" to
mount/access my Parallel port zip100 drive.
