It seems we just can't get this one right! :-) I'm going to punt on this one for now since it's easy to adjust manually and, believe it or not, setting your CMOS clock to UCT is a *good* thing! That way you can have the various OSs on your disk apply their own biasing calculations and everyone is (usually) quite happy with that arrangement. > Oops, I almost forgot.

The probing for 2.1 will get much better, using actual kernel facilities for this purpose. For now I'll simply document the fact that tapes and CDROMs must be in their drives to be detected! Thanks for the feedback! If those were the only problems so far then I feel pretty good about it! Jordan
