  Joerg, I did this. I commented the "init=c:\multitos\init.prg"
  line out, and used "GEM=c:\n_aes\n_aes030.sys". Well, guess what?
  The latest beta kernel, 1.15.3b does work fine like this (note 
  that I did not run it for a very long time to see if I had freezes
  like some other users-just established that it did boot up okay
  on my setup). 
  
  However, I noticed some odd quirks. I lost vcons, and several
  apps such as TOSWIN and Jo Evens' TASKBAR "forgot" their usual
  settings. Also, I gained back a little over 2 megs of memory.
  And of course, all semblance of security is gone since it boots
  directly into Thing... <smile>
  
  So...what should I do? I mean, I don't want to give up vcons.
  Is a "fix" being incorporated into the next beta kernel? Thank
  you very much for your help.
  
  Catch ya later! ;-)
