Yes becuase HD D:\ can be master on IDE 1. IDE 0 is first 
checked by the bios and only if that fails are are the reast of the
Hard Diskes probed. If your cd/rom is jumped master IDE 1 master 
then it is the profered boot record over a failed IDE 0.

I don't know what to make of this. Linux is only a family of open 
source programers. It allows those that are interested in aspects
of computing to become activly involved in development. Some of the 
succesful examples of porting are Netscape, Mozzila, Firefox, Star 
Office, Open Office and of course MMAIL.

a wiz nor am i wise.
