Redhat 7.1 Boot Disks Not Talking?

Thu Apr 26 00:14:03 EDT 2001

Hey Dude!

     The LT map is for laptops.  It's helpful, at least on Toshibas, if
the right alt and keypad insert key are the same.  Thanks for the tip
about hitting T and going up.  I was hitting S and going down a rather
long way.
