I thought my problems with Debian were down to it being installed on the 
secondary hard drive - Mandrake, SuSE and Debian all fail to power-off from 
that disc, I have to tell Linux to reboot and manually power-off around the 
time the BIOS screen comes up.

I'm trying to decide whether to do my tax manually (or laboriously using pages 
of online forms) so that I can finally ditch Win98SE on the first disc. Does 
anyone know if Windows will boot if it isn't on the first partition of the 
first disc? Will it boot using LILO if it's the first partition on the SECOND 
disc - a slave drive? TaxCalc is literally the only reason left for Windows 
on my network. GnuCash does all the calculations but I still need to file the 
return itself online.
