Didn't mean to suggest that your suggestion wouldn't work. But the
flurry of "I've lost data", "Can't find my partition", and "why can't I
get this installed" msgs have me wondering. I'll be the first to say
that you need to know considerably more to get Linux running and I've
had my share of video problems. But losing DOS partitions/data just
shouldn't be part of the mix with any of the newer installers. As
someone pointed out, the purchase of even the cheapest Linux
distribution (off the shelf) yields up a Linux boot disk for those
systems that can't boot from a CD.
