loadlin.exe is a DOS program that loads the Linux
Kernel. I *may* be wrong, but I think it only works
if the kernel is where the DOS is able to read it,
i.e., an UMSDOS partition or a CD-ROM. Once the
Linux Kernel is loaded, the system can be in any
partition type that Linux recognize.
I repeat: I *may* be wrong. Does anybody know the
correct answer?
