Loadlin is on a fat32 partition...c drive is ntfs but I don't think that should matter.....got a floppy drive from a guy here and loadlin likes that much better....hangs at booting kernel but I think if I play with it long enough I will either make it work or it will be time to go home....then that will be solved...i may just end up making some slack install floppy's but the supply room currently has only 5.25 floppy's.....jee....wonder why nobody wanted those....

I suspect the XP install is on an NTFS and loadlin is unhappy about that. good luck. -- scot _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list _______________________________________________ TCLUG Mailing List - Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota http://www.mn-linux.org tclug-list at mn-linux.org https://mailman.real-time.com/mailman/listinfo/tclug-list
