I know this is off topic but it's kinda urgent. I installed something called DILINUX, drop-in linux. Works fine, boots from a dos partition. But today after starting my computer I got a "memory test fail" message. The computer tests memory as usual, then prints a message about the plug-n-play bios, then this message. Is there any possibillity a program could damage physical memory? -- tudor 'at' cam 'dot' org http://www.cam.org/~tudor 'This is Scott Nudds of the Borg. C is irrelevant.'
