Hi everyone,
I'm a newbie with linux but i'm really interested. Here's my problem, i've
tried for hours to try and get it to work.

Does anyone know how to run DOSLINUX (downloaded from sunsite) on a Fat-32
partition. I don't want to repartition because I don't have a way to
backup my HD. I just want to try it out before upgrading my other computer
to be Linux capable. If there is anyone who knows how, please respond to
me through email because I don't get to go on the Internet too much.

Thanx in advance,
Tony Arkles

Prepare to buy a whole bunch of floppies. Fat32 is readonly at this
point and install doslinux over Win95 is impossible.

Instead of repartitioning, it may be easier to use a program such as
PowerQuest's Partition Magic (It's the only one I know of) to
repartition the drive without deleting the information on it. I've
tried it, and it works.

I have Partition Magic 3.0 and it is more than worth it! It even comes with
IBM's Bootmanager so you can dual boot the system easily.
