Hi again --

          Upon reflection, perhaps it was a little hasty of me to dismiss my 'old dog'
position of still using lilo? That is to say, if the term 'lesser of two evils' is meant 
to inflect 'we don't want to add things to the base book when they're not really
required perse', then in my mind, lilo immediately steps up to the plate...

...if instead, we're talking about the facilities the base book actually provides, as
part of that build sequence, then for sure there's better choices than lilo (pros
versus cons argument) ... and I suppose then, I'd rather have another 'tool' (nasm)
than the other choice ; nasm will always be useful regardless, non X builds..

..funny how the end of the book turns out to be so 'delicate' <g>

Cheers!

Don
