Tried this, and now my video system doesn't work at all ... obviously I
goofed somewhere <wink>.  Looks like I'll be going in via the network for
a cleanup job.

By the way, I haven't been keeping up-to-date with the latest processor
designations.  Anyone care to bring me up to speed on the differences
between the i386, i586, and i686 options?  I'm guessing that a pentium is
the i586 and that the i386 would be for the older 386 and 486
processors?  Not at all sure about the i686 ...?
