Can LILO read from a mirrored drive? I am considering putting 2 9G drives and doing a software mirror - can I boot that directly? Is there anything special that needs to be done? -- Chris Adams - cadams@ro.com System Administrator - Renaissance Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
