Is a particular install sequence required? Does BM boot grub, boot penguin as of yore? When I try to bring Linux and XP into the mix things can go down hill fast. Typically everything is in place but can only boot one system, rest ignored. Many hours painted into this corner! What file system do you use for the "translation" partition - fat32?

I filed them in the end under OS/2-History in the filing cabinet, instead of heaving them! But I threw out all the old Programmers' Paradise, and similar catalogues from the early 1990s, they took up too much room.

Eventually using one of the installed Firefox browsers (3.5.3?), I was able to log-in, set it to keep me logged-in, and after that I was able to access it back in SeaMonkey 1.1.18. I was going through about 6,500 "conversations", pruning them, and every time i clicked the "next older" link, it scrolled the page (25 conversations/page) too far vertically. i got tired of continually adjusting this and without thinking of any consequences, I maximized the GMail page to full screen - that eliminated the bad-scrolling problem - BUT - when I had finally finished I looked for the "restore" button on upper RHS, and there weren't _any_ buttons whatsoever, and I couldn't get out of that blasted maximized screen-state. I went to GMail-help, but could locate nothing there relating to it. I did a Google search on maximized screens, and nearly every item was relating to receiving on small-screened Smartphones etc., not to fullsize Browser pages on a PC! So a word of warning when maximizing pages like that, if one has accidentally or deliberately turned off (stay on top) for e.g. XCenter / WarpCenter / eComCenter / eCenter, it's a PITA. I had to CADH to get out of it!
