Thanks Alan. Well, after due consideration, and playing around with my
dual-boot DOS/Linux setup, I've decided to undue it. I'm going to setup up my
Linux 20 gig HD as the primary, and use the 10 gigger as a DOS/Windows
partition to run stuff with Wine and as a backup space for my precious Linux
software...
I've got several reasons for doing this, one of course is that I'm limited to 2
gig HD's...the other is...my sound card is too good. I know that sounds funny,
but I've got the SB Xgamer Live! which is a great card, but guess what? I went
to the Creative/SB web site, and there are no DOS drivers for these newer
cards. So all the DOS games I wanted to run would have no sound (well, pc
speaker but ugh!). So...there ya go.
Thanks for all your help! ;-)
