No, I wanted to give a 'proper' Linux os a go. I'd read that
I got my machine to format a mac zip disk also.

I remember the VHS vs. Beta war and wow was it bloody.
When I was little I liked VHS for a totally stupid reason,
but after I found out that BetaMax was built on the design
of the U-matic, I found out why it produced a better
picture.
Do you remember an old commercial video format called U-matic
I agree, sometimes it's hard to explain why I like it (Linux) so much. I
can't really, in good conscience, try to get everyone I know to convert to
Linux because of the simple fact - most people don't care to spend their
evening 'configuring' things, they just want to sit down and write and email
e, that it) and get at
what I want as /mnt/DOS_hda1/linux or as /mnt/zip. Simple. Is
that really what your problem is?

Ok, so I had my little fun with this. Let's be real here.

I am not using it...but from other emails to this list, Lnx4Win is not the
best way. Using that install method requires it to sit on top of Windows
Fatxx, and hence very much slower than a Linux native partition.
Also if your Windows crashes you will lose the Linux install, and have to redo
that
When i tried it that way, The install took something like 4 hours as uposed to
one hour ( actually less) for aregular install.

I have one question for you, and for everyone on the list for that matter.
Did you install Lnx4Win? If not and easy was your primary objective, why
didn't you give it a go?
I would like to hear from anyone else who has installed Lnx4Win and is
using it as a regular
home PC user. I am interested i
Sorry folks, I got that the wrong way around, didn't I!!
No trouble downloading Windows stuff while on Linux, it's the other way
around!!! I suppose I could doenload, burn to CD-RW and load it into Linux
from there.
I will now sit in the corner and hang my head in shame!!

Sorry I forgot to mention, windows was never designed to
exist alongside another OS.

Linux supports multiple file systems, Windows supports only fat, and fat32. I
don't know what your background is, but the file system is what allows you to
store information on your hard disk. Linux uses a system called 'ext2fs' or
'second extended file system'. Windows uses 'FAT' or 'File Allo

I'm sure other people have answered this by now, but I can't resist:
That is because Microsoft supports only its *own* filesystems, whereas
Linux supports many filesyst
make . Don't underestimate too much.

It's because Micro$oft developpers couldn't ever think that someone uses
zinblow$ and another OS at the same time.
In fact, I don't think that they are aware that there are other O

Becasuse MS doesn't like competitors.
However, you can get software which provides the capability or functionality
you asked about, and Exceed is one such tool, from Hummi
