I thought it was a 1G limit - is 1024 cylinders 8G?  We boot from the DOS
partition with loadlin and make DOS the first partition (or Windows 98).  
I am still operating as root except when using dosemu (which requires that
it be used by 'user') but someone said to be 'user' when going online with
a browser.  I think you can dial as root and then switch to another terminal
and be user before loading the browser or telnet program.  I have not managed
to get the dialer working except as root.

We were going to go on our big adventure but I started coughing again.  I

never happened before - is it specific to this particular cold?  

How difficult is it to get a CD writer working with linux?
