This is reassuring, since FIPS 2.0
itself seems to have been written sometime around the time of Win95, which
could use FAT16 or FAT32 partitions - but I'm pretty sure by the time WinME
came along, Windows was committed to FAT32.
Usual cautions apply about backing up any vital data first!
Linux, and /hdd is a 3GB with mostly data on it.

Well, if it works for W2K, I expect it'll work for Linux too.From the
little I found on the subject, I think Linux and W2K are more similar
than the Mac.

Can any kind person give some info on the following:
I don't seem to have a 'initrd' file - does it matter?
Should I use the 'syslinux.cfg' off the backup boot floppy instead?
How do I boot DOS usind GRUB?

Also one that will work well with Gnome and KDE apps.

How does one produce a special (i.e. non-keyboard) ASCII character in a Linux

Alt + doesn't seem to work.

But trying 'insmod sr_mod' just gives four error messages of
'unresolved symbol unregister_cdrom_R94f2f104' and similar.

That's correct.
I'm having trouble reading my CD-ROM (actually a LG(Goldstar) 8080 cd-writer)
drive.
It's not a hardware problem, and it worked in previous RH versions. (It also
installed my current RH 7.2 system quite happily).
My /etc/fstab reads

n added each old drive in
turn and checked it with fdisk, Antivir (just in case) and fsck. I had to
mount it to use Antivir, using the partition names I got from reading fdisk.
All as su to root, of course.
