My experience also with Windows 95 has been pretty solid. I've had months of uptime with Windows 95 with the only problems being occasional GPF errors that close all open Netscape windows. But other than that it's been pretty rock solid for me as long as I haven't installed library type software

FAT32 requires a patch to the Linux kernel to support it. So if you MUST do it, you have to get a new kernel. -- Unsubscribe? mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] /dev/null
