Re: Booting first time...

Yes - it is just cold boots which tend to give problems.

Part of my concern is because my father uses my machine when I am away
to download email from a bbs.

If the ab040 hangs during boot, he knows to restart it.

What worries me is if there are bombs during the boot sequence he
doesn't notice.
When that happens the AB040 is usually not loaded (when I open the CPX
it says the caches are off or disabled). However, the system appears
normal and you can run the comms program... but when it comes to
downloading it goes very slow (many errors?). Then there is a risk he
will lose mail etc. in attempts to rectify the situation.
