Well, yes, sure... that's how i ended up with a full disk actually,
since i had these "can't find this can't find that" at boot i was always coming
back to the install windows.
particularly i could never get a module sound working, and it really seemed
to be the solution if i trust several member of these lists.
Also this is not BSD is it ? It was just one instruction.

My aim is to do artistic stuff (but some i will keep using MacOS)
html code, i want to mix music too,
i'm buying a big Pentium at the moment, and will renew my Mac
hardware shortly too. So it should be art oriented workstation,
just able to communicate together, i'll keep sending my html pages
to "pro" servers for permanent connection ans DNS service.
