- A small, but annoying feature on E/L occurs on my notebook, a NEC Versa S.
- E/L runs better than I would expect on an sx33, but my trouble is that
- the Versa S has a removable floppy. If I don't change my cmos settings
- at boot time to no floppy, then executor hangs as it searches for the
- nonexistent drive. I realize that very few people have this problem, but
- I was wondering if a command line switch could be put in, something like
- -noflop, or if you could put a time out on the drive after 30 seconds or
- a minute. It would be a great help to me.
