Installing my ZIP parallel drive on my out of the Box 7.2 Prof version I found that in the Reference Manual from SuSe it was mentioned that in the BIOS the EPP mode for the parallel port is set. The installation was successful but I started thinking of the numerous possibilies for BIOS settings. Is there some place where preferred BIOS settings are kept? Or the settings that should be kept away from? My system has always run okay for DOS, never got to Windows but I have no idea what the preferred Linux settings should be. Have the idea that the fall back setting of the Bios is very much made with Windows in mind. -- "640K ought to be enough for anybody." - Bill Gates, 1981 NTReader v0.35w(P)/Beta (Registered) in conjunction with Net-Tamer.
