Yes! In this case, you will copy the kernel to the DOS/Win partition, and use a command like: c:\loadlin\loadlin.exe c:\loadlin\vmlinuz root=/dev/hdb3 ro vga=7 > I had thought its main use was to allow Linux to boot from a > dos subdirectory /linux. Only in the sense thast the kernel must reside on a dos partition. The rest of Linux can reside anywhere else. > In my case, running Win95B with FAT32, I > understand Linux would not support running in that file system. Am I > incorrect? Linux cannot run in FAT32, nor can it read or write FAT32 (at least not without a patch). But Linux in an ext2fs partition can be booted by Loadlin in a FAT32 partition (if you copy the kernel to that partition - perhaps via a floppy). - Sten Anderson -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
