I'm going to have to ask you how exactly what you mean.
When I type "linux expert", I get prompted for "Do you have a Driver 
Disk",  I do, but it's the one I got from HP, and I have tried loading 
it.  I never seem to get a prompt for a way to force the loading of a 
particular driver.  If you could point me in the right direction, I'd 
appreciate it.

So far, no obvious errors, but the messages on alt-f4 (of alt-f3/f4 
available) scroll by pretty fast, and there is no apparent way to scroll 
back.

I'll look into the boot image.

Thanks for your help.
