On a related note, I just found out in a round about way that part of 98's problem is that the FAT 32 system has been causing a lot of problems! For some reason the Master Boot Record keeps getting corrupted and causes problems. The unofficial recommendation from Microsoft is to not run the FAT 32 system and stick with FAT16. The company I work for runs a database software called Dataflex on Win95 networked systems. When 98 is loaded and Fat32 initialzed, the Dataflex software no longer runs at all! (Though it runs under FreeBSD fine! :) Rick To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
