Could someone with a fast IDE drive and VESA local bus IDE controller
run IOZONE. I heard of upto 20MB/s data transfer on a local bus
system. I was going to check-it out the system but they sold out.

As root, type

Good deals on SCSI drives ;-)

I boot from a diskette, myself. None of them new-fangled, fancy hard
disk boot programs here. Them gives only trouble, mark my word.

Actually, for quite a while there have been warnings against using
Shoelace, since it doesn't work very well with newer Linux kernels
(there have been problems with too big kernels, at least, I think).
The recommended way is to use LILO, the Linux Loader program. A new
version was recently announced.
(The reason that I don't boot from the HD, is that I've been way too
lazy to install anything new on my system for weeks.)
