Re: Other operating systems

I had Mandrake 8.1 as part of a dual boot. Took longer to load up than XP did. Took over a week to configure it to use my winmodem (on dialup at the time). <br><br>Gonna make this one a dual boot XP/Linux machine when I build the next one. <p>Rob <br><br></p><i></i>

Re: No lights!!

MIght as well order a new one. Once the switch starts acting up, it wont be long before the wires disinigrate leaving you without lights. Mine did that when I was in Chicago. Rode teh 100 miles home without headlights. Good thing it was daytime. <p>Rob <br><br></p><i></i>
