I have just begun, my linux life, but I may be willing to suggest that you mount your dos partition in linux, personally I find it a lot faster when installing *.deb files. Although some errors do come up. Also, any suggestions on editing my fstab file to have both my hda1 and Windoze 95 hda2 auto-mount on startup. I tried to stab at it myself, and did create a directory "c" in root to mount hda1. Currently I have to type cd / | mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /c, every time I start up so that I can load in packages that have been downloaded from ftp sites. Thanx.
