package
containing two tar.gz files. Winzip does handle tar.gz fine. So worst
case is
he ar extracts the tar.gz in linux and then looks at the tar.gz in
Windows.

Works like a charm. Only deviation from the included documentation I found
was that it says you need the partition you load Linux on to start at
cylinder 1023 or lower. I loaded Debian on the last gig of a 6gb drive and
it works fine... Good luck!

lyx is coming along nicely. Not Word, yet, mind you, but does pretty
well for most things
of success.
And the appropriate procedures can be identified to back out of any

of Disinfectant had with multiple world-wide testers and other helpers
was the first I'd seen of an internet-wide cooperation.
Now to see the same cooperation with the Debian developers is very

I started on RedHat an dam now a debian user
RedHat is great for Windows Users tho...good to get you addicted so you
switch completely to linux :)
My guru sez that maybe Caldera is even more friendly to newbie's like me
that are coming from the Windoze/Mac world.

that Loadlin can boot linux when it's in another
partition? I had thought its main use was to allow Linux to boot from a
dos subdirectory /linux. In my case, running Win95B with FAT32, I
understand Linux would not support running in that file system. Am I
incorrect?

Something like that IMHO should be the goal of this in-between

Thanks for the clarification. That's nice to know the specific command
for dpkg install. Does that also work out dependencies, or is that a
function of dselect once a package has been selected from its list?
