Tommi, My system initially was a Win95B system using FAT32 for the full 5 gig drive. I bought Powerquest Partition Magic to resize the FAT32 partition down so that I could put an msdos partition (800M) and a 1.5G extended partition containing both the Linux partition and swap partitions). Partition Magic comes with "IBM's Boot Manager" which I installed as the fourth primary partition at the top of the 5gig drive so I could select between Win 95, Linux, and I also wanted to be able to boot to the msdos partition to run the Win 3.1 system from my previous computer. To your knowledge, is the Boot Manager referred to here one and the same as the Boot Manager you're using? Thanks, Dave -- --David E.
