WIN95(FAT32) && LINUX SLACKWARE 3.4

Post by Swamy Ananthanaraya » Tue, 10 Feb 1998 04:00:00



Hello,

I currently have a win95 system running on a fat32 hard drive...I was
wondering how I would load linux on it...I have partition magic and I
know I have to make a separate partition. But the question is on loading
linux..? I read in an article somewhere that you cannot load lilo..if
you have a fat32 drive...and that if you do..then your system crashes..i
was wondering if this is the case if I have to boot linux from a boot
disk.

Please reply by email if you can...
Thank You

Load lilo to a boot disk. If you let lilo modify the fat32 boot you will
toast your MBR, which is easily fixed with fdisk /mbr

1. Multiprocessor Intel-based systems & Linux Slackware 3.4

Dear All!

Could you answer to my question?
Does the Linux support multiprocessor configuration?

I have the PC-compartible machine with two PentiumPro-180 processors. I have
installed the Linux Slackware 3.4 on it but I'm not sure does Linux use the
multiprocessor ability of my machine?
