Oh yeah... Don't think of committing lightly, yesterday I tested it out
on a machine and managed to lose the ability to boot into Windows. And
in the end I couldn't even boot into Yoper as there was no option to
make a boot disk and making one manually also failed.
It's install process is very nasty and unintuitive, that part definitely
needs a lot of work.
I can't say about the rest because I haven't gotten that far yet!

Sorry - It's a problem that both I and Carrie on Sex in the City have
had our whole lives! ;-)
I'm probably better off to stick with Gentoo and use the patches for
Con's kernel that are in the forums. I'll still look at Yoper, but on a
safer, less committed basis I think. ;-)

Sorry to hear that Dan...
I'd be interested to have more details of your install so I can pass that onto
the other developers.
If you installed Lilo in the mbr it should have identified your Windows
partition. Was it a standard install on to one hard drive?
The only part I stumbled with on my first install was the graphical disk
partitioning utility...and that was mainly due to my semi ignorance and
familiarity with what kind of partiton is what with respect to primary,
logical, extended, etc. OTher than that it went fine...but then I never
install onto a drive I don't expect to wipe as a rule...that's just me.

Oh - I met a woman one night in a bar that treated me that way. I was
never the same again...
