Re: [newbie] Slowly getting there!
varun The Linux4Win can be installed on your Windows FAT partition by inserting the CD once ME has booted to the desktop. ME will execute the autorun file and give you the option to install Lin4Win on a certain part of your FAT partion. Using a boot disk and the CD will excute an actual LINUX install that requires its own partions on the hard drive.

Date: Thu, 15 Mar 2001 23:41:49 -0800 Alright, thanks for the help guys, I am now able to get into the desktop. I used XFdrake, and was able to access the desktop. The only problem is, I can only use it in 256 colors! Whats up with that? All the other settings don't work! I really don't want to be stuck with only 256. Is there anything I missed here? I have a ATI Mach64GX video card. All the settings are available, and I can choose them, but all I can get to work is 256. I know my card is capable of doing more than that, I have it set to 24bit here in (yuck) Window$ and it works flawlessly. Soon, I will stop bugging you guys with questions :) So am I outta luck? Or is there something I can do? Oh ya, also when I boot Mandrake, I get a bug error right away, and all my icons disappear!!! Hmmm Thanks, James -- James carlson, [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 03/15/2001 _ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
