If you haven't yet installed DOS, use the DOS issue disks to install it; this will automatically make the DOS partition active and bootable. If you have installed DOS, boot from a DOS floppy and run C:\DOS\FDISK /MBR to install the default DOS master boot record. You will then need to have LOADLIN on the DOS partition in order to be able to start Linux. Alternatively, you may choose to use lilo as the boot loader; look at the user documentation in /usr/doc/lilo. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://homepages.enterprise.net/olly
