can´t use FIPS on windows 95
Hiya all! I´m new to the list, and of course I have some questions. 1) There is no UMSDOS for debian isn´t it? 2) I bought my computer and it comes preinstalled with windows 95, so all of the hard disk is in one single partion. Reading the files that come with the debian distribution I read that I could use fips, but unfortunatly when I run it it stops with an error: that the partiosn is OBh or something... I suposse, as I read further, fips only can do partitions on msdos file systems, and I have a pure windows 95 FAT32... So the question is: How can I shrink my only one partition ! even if it is a windows 95 one. Tnx for the answers you could gave me.

Re: can?t use FIPS on windows 95
See http://www-plateau.cs.berkeley.edu/people/chaffee/fat32.html This should answer all your questions and includes a link to a new version of fips which has limited support for FAT32 (w/o LBA).

If you want to run Debian from an umsdos filesystem you have to install a basic system on an ext2 and then create the umsdos filesystem using their specific tools. After that you have to copy the basic system to the new filesystem and install loadlin and a linux kernel on the dos partition that contains the umsdos filesystem. 2) I bought my computer and it comes preinstalled with windows 95, so all of the hard disk is in one single partion.

But it's a highly commercial program.
