No need to apologize for your questions, but I would suggest in the
future not cross-posting to so many lists. All but one of your
questions could have been answered by looking at the Linux Laptop site
at
http://www.cs.utexas.edu/users/kharker/linux-laptop/
where you would have found a link pointing to the Gateway Solo 9100 at

They're not umsdos filesystems, but rather vfat filesystems. The rest
of your questions are answered on the Gateway page I mentioned. Take
care and have fun!
