No.. don't use loadlin..
That's misinformation.. Lilo works great on a FAT32 partitions.
You can run linux, w98, nt5, and a bunch of other os's and they co-exist just
fine with fat32. I do that currently..heh.. :)

> FYI, a couple of things. FAT32 is very fast, I like it when I _HAVE_ to run

FAT32 is a dirty hack. It is about 5-10% slower than FAT16 because of the
finer-grained mapping.. :)

I don't want to make this sound like a flame or anything. Things can get
misread over e-mail..
