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.

However "booting installed sys" from CD1 doesn't work entirely, it won't load USB. Also the fsck fails as filesys is not read-only.
That because of the fact SuSE cannot load the parameters from your boot-floppy.
What I really want is the graphic boot menu to choose win, Linux 2.2, Linux 2.4, mem-test etc. that you get with the initial boot-floppy created on installation. I can't find any info (in suse-help) on how to do that, unless I'm looking in the wrong places!
Suggestion: Why don't you install Lilo on the MBR? That would be done by running the setup again, then booting the installed system, login as root and run /sbin/lilo. As far as I can remember you can also use Yast to determine where to install lilo - on the MBR or on boot-disk.

WRT: MS Money. You should be able to use MS Money via WINE or more specifically, Crossover Office (which does cost a few poinds). I keep Windows ME on my desktop specifically for my ISP because their dumb techs know only Windows and nothing else. On 2 Aug 2002 at 16:50, MickJH@bcs.org.uk wrote:

Hi, the affect would be that you do not need your boot disk to boot WinME or SuSE. Oliver -- ... don't touch the bang-bang fruit
