FYI, if you have Partition Magic 4 (or probably 5, too, but I don't know
for sure), you will find a directory named "LINUX" on the PM CD-ROM. In that
directory are two diskette images. You can make floppies from them by using
dd if=/path/to/image of=/dev/fd0
The diskette images contain a bootable, self-hosting copy of Partition Magic
[1]. Very useful if you don't have access to a M$ OS, or if the system is
just plain unbootable because of problems.
[1] Technically, they're using Caldera's OpenDOS.
