I decided to upgrade to the early May SNAP and noticed that much of it was missing so I took the safe route and installed it on F2 to be safe (nothing to wipe out...). I got it working but decided that I wanted to stick with the 2.1R system and so rebooted and asked Booteasy for F3, yet it gave me F2 (the May SNAP). Now both F2 and F3 yeild F2 while F1 still gives me the correct F1. I installed what seems to be Booteasy-1.7 but that changed nothing, and the slice table looks good, so me thinks that booteasy-1.[47] has problems. If anyone knows the botom line, a better package or the quick fix email me, else I am going to have to slug it out with the code. ||ugh Daniel General Systems Consultant hugh@toad.com
