and what really sucks is I cant even get into the bios setup proggie 
since that requires an os supporting realmode dos and I currently have 
linux installed on this machine. stupid compaq. I'l;l look at their 
site maybe I can find some kind of bootdisk or maybe (I doubt it 
though) a bios setup for *nix. well it does say '...if you are using 
unix, please insert your compaq diag disk..." when I try to enter 
setup...
