Re: Installing EMC on a computer

grub: means = (you fool "bill gates is laughing")

This was trying to transfer the Morphix Linux with RTlinux OS onto my
ide hard drive. It crashed the grub loader. Possibly, I got a email
saying that I could have just typed MORPHIX to load the new system
from the hard drive. Too late now, I have redhat on that machine too.
Took till 4am thou. I am kinda stubborn for sure.
