I have (on present standards) a smallish machine with hda(850MB, FAT16, but I've had the same results with FAT32 before repartitioning) for W98 and hdb(4.3GB) for Linux. I (and the system, LM7.1) happily use spare space on hda as backup for linux files, for saving them if/when I have to reinstall. cp works just fine for that; I also have my ISP primarily installed in W98, but I access the mail directories and address book from linux via soft links. Didn't work properly under LM7.0, as all the directories in the dos partition had 0755 permissions, but with 7.1 they're 0777. I installed using 'Welcome to Crackers'security and added passwds later, if that makes any difference. Ronnie Whipp ============
