Re: Help with reformatted hd

I 'managed' to get logged into one and have it on a
partition on this ole K6 2 350. I am using it right
now. I don't know IF the couple errors encountered
while booting are something my box don't like or a
copy error. but it is typing this.

Something about a module /evo.ko (if I remember it
correctly.

and it pops up a box about home and PH. Then wants a
pw for that!! Geech.

Nothing less is acceptable!
