I'm using a dual boot win98/Linux system at home with no probs. I haven't yet tried to access my Winblow's partitions from Linux because they're God-only-knows-what-version of fat32. When I'm in the mood I might reformat Win98 into fat16 partitions using a Dos 6.2 boot disk. For some reason Win98 refused to see anything above 500 megs on my HD's unless I enabled its fdisk's "Large Disk Support"(translation: fat32), despite having my drives set up in LBA mode. If you're able, I'd recommend installing 98 onto some fat16 partitions, then install Linux onto it's own seperate partitions. Mark -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
