Also to Thomas Freina for your responses. I got bin86 and intalled it. First time the compile failed again. I then deleted the whole source tree and started afresh. This time it worked and generated kernel-image_2.0.13_Custom.1_i386.deb, which I then installed with dpkg. However, when I told it to make a boot floppy, I got this:
ioctl(FDGETPRM): No such device. Anyway I liloed and booted the new kernel. Now my sound doesn't work in windows 95 anymore. Scratching head..... Chuma
