Indeed.  I'm glad to see that there is another way!

Well, I tried asking what the command was and didn't get an answer last
time :-)

That was it!  Turning off the PnP OS features by selecting "UNIX or
other" got me up and running.  I still have the boot problem, but things
are otherwise pretty good :-)

One last question...  Any idea why, when I boot under Win (at least), my
little SMC router loses its authentication to the DSL server?  AFAICT it
is not trying to be a domain controller, though I don't know for sure
because I hardly know for what to look!


Thanks again & HAND
