Hi, > Hi. I saw your message posted to linux.debian.user on 12/16/1998 and was > wondering if you actually got it working. No, finally I decided to partition the hard disk. There is a way to do it without having to reinstall the windows system. I just had to defragment it. That was a better solution to me. Besides umsdos seemed to be quite old and abandoned... To be quite sure that I would do any harm to the NT system (which was at the time used by another person), I didn't touch at the boot configuration and used a diskette to boot linux (you just loose 3 or 4 seconds...). Write me if you want to do the same and need more information. Best, Marko
