Oh.. reaally. I have the phdisk utility on a boot disk somewhere, but I have my main partition linuxified. In fact, I only have one partition with vanilla fat that's like hda5 under an extended partition and I'm really not into just throwing phdisk up and hoping it realizes that my drive c: isn't going to be my primary disk primary partition. Other thing is that he might be running loadlin under windows as a boot loader (maybe the only thing besides being a waste of processor/memory to handle people who know nothing of computers that windows is good for). I'm almost temped to make a 200 meg fat partition hda1 and reinstall redhat (Slackware, FreeLinux or something else [maybe even BSD]) over hda2 just to see if I can get suspend to disk working in Linux. I would imagine it wouldn't take too kindly to it, but it's possible if it saves everything in memory and cpu registers and stuff. Save that battery power! I saw the coolest computer ever yesterday. It was a 70s style laptop. It was way bulky, probably 20 some pounds. It had removable modem (about the size of a half length desktop board, but no network card. It had a display that was kind of like a calculator. It was begging for me to put Linux on it and set it up as a dumb terminal. 386 with 20 meg hard drive, maybe a floppy drive, and a 2400 modem. I should have offered 20 bucks for it, but they wanted 100. Just for fun to put Linux on. Network it through the serial/parallel port with ppp and put just a kernel, telnet, and a few other networking utilities on it. It actually boot too. Antique. I could just not eat for a day and save 20 bucks. On Thu, 28 Jan 1999, Leon Wood wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > From: Kevin M.
