That was the start of the problem.. :)  It wouldn't mount the partition to
install from it.  But even now since I've managed to install it, I still
get the "Invalid Argument" error when I try to mount the extended
partition.

I am typing: mount -t msdos /dev/wd0s2 /dos_e

It's more annoying since my Download and Data directories are on that
partition in Win '95 and it would be nice to be able to access them.

Ciao, Roddie
