I am sorry I made a mistake in the last posting. i used the word decide
instead of distinguish! So the text could be misinterpreted. Please read
One must decide distinguish between the prompt "mountdisk", where the
input "/dev/sdD0/data" is correct and the prompt "distribution disk"
that follows up, where the input "/dev/sdD0/data" will never be accepted
(at least in my configuration)..........
Some additional infos to the VESA-Standard, I think is good to know:
The reason for the failure save function of the VESA standard is the
VESA BIOS extension (VBE), so most PCs have the VESA on board. VBE may
be implemented in hardware or in software. Some video cards that do not
support VESA natively carriy a particular additional hardware for VESA.
With some software even proprietary hardware will work in standard
software. So I am convinced that VESA as a standard (and others a s
options) is an absolutely safe bet.
Sorry for my strange English!
Bernhard
