Hello,
if you want to make a partition in dos I recommend you use the FDISK
included in windows98 or 95 even 2000 boot disk. Start FDISK and make the
proper partition.
To do this, there are several steps as follows:
1. set hidden and read-only files attibutes to 'archive'
== attrib -r -s -h *.*
You can also output the results to a file: 'attrib -r -s -h foo.txt' for
later review.
Do this for ALL the dir's.

Exceed is quite a mature product.
It turns the windows based PC into X Terminal.
The window manager you use depends on your X server.
I have used Exceed on a PC (Pentium 133) and the X server was on Sun.
Hence, Exceed does not require a high spec PC.

b/webyour windows partition is incorrectly set as hidden, it
needs to be set as active. If bootmagic is indeed already
installed, once you've set the windows partition as active
bootmagic will show up, if it is not already installed you'll be
allowed to install it.
