I've been subscribed to the expert list for a number of years but as of
March 22 haven't received any mail at all from the list. I've tried
unsubscribing and resubscribing with no results. Hence this message just
to see if its still alive.
Try 'lsmod' and see what modules you're using. There was an issue that win 95
used a vfat32 file structure, but windoze 98 used vfat32x or some such. If you
didn't reformat your windoze drive before installing '98 but did afterwards, it
would change format. I don't know when it was solved, but
I see the problems are with laptops. There could be issues with apm,
automagically messing everything up on a suspend. Is this out of the equation?
BTW, what laptops? Some have specific hassles which cause install problems.
Have you checked the linux laptop page for a link to your ones?

Thanks to Wolfgang and Ken Thompson for the instructions. I'll go away and
fiddle with that machine for a bit as instructed, but if it gets too heavy, I'll
wait. I have a beta of 8.0 on the way by cd, and I can start making serious
efforts when I install that. Long downloads are a bit of a pain
Declan, I finally solved the problem. When linux try to see the windows
partition it detected just 3Gb instead of 15; 3Gb!, just the windows used
space. I started to suspect that the problem could arised form problems in
the windows partitions; started windows, started Scandisk and Bingo!,

responded saying they believed the 4.0.3 driver worked for the SiS 5597
because there were multiple references to the SiS 5597 in the driver

I actually used to mirror their RPM's to my system occasionally, but
I've since removed the script, but it should be easily recreatable by
anyone familiar with wget.

That prints no error message, is not friendly, etc, but it does it.

I notice that piping it through wc and doing the "-eq 0" is not neccessary, as grep
