We'll return to mvanders@senet.com.au and All's
discussion of 1.3 Gig HD & old 486 motherboard

 mv> My appologies for not posting this eariler but thanks to those who
 mv> sent an email. I actually read the hardware Howto (I should have known
 mv> better) and figured it out. It wouldn't work with the drive overlay
 mv> (Disk Manager from conner) so i ditched that and formatted the drive
 mv> with fdisk and created 4 partitions making sure that 2 of those
 mv> partitions were within the first 1024 blocks 1 msdos and 1 linux native
 mv> to boot.
 mv> Thanks again, my apologies again for not reading the docs first :(

If you're used to commercial OS's, Linux is a refreshing change.  Ass
the docs are available for free, and they're generally quite good. :-)

Good to hear you've solved your problem.

FWIW, I've had my head in the docs, getting IPX going. :-)
