Thanks Fabricio.

I, as I mentioned on the post, managed to change the boot over to lilo.

But in general I don't make boot floppies because I find floppies too
unreliable.  It's probably because the drive sits unused for months
collecting dust.

I was hoping you were going to offer a translation of the Spanish hits
I'd found . .

We have a few d'Silva names here, but no Anjos Silva.  A number of
Portugese people came here in the 1950/1960 era and mostly worked
plantations.
