I downloaded FIPS15B and partitioned my disk. But when it finishes it doesn't return to dos command. The error is "can't load command"(??? I can't remember exactly), "memory allocation error, system halted"(???) But it did partitioned my disk. The problem happens when I restart my computer and windows can't work. The error is: "while initializing device VFBACKUP: VFBACKUP could not load vfd.vxd. Please run set up again." So I ran setup again and again and again. I even formatted the new partition and copied all my files to that partition( it took quite some time and long filenames disappeared). The same error repeated. Eventually I rename "windows" directory to "win". This time it worked. FIPS doesn't partition as I expected. I deleted many files trying to get the second partition before 1024th cyliner (504M). "defrag" was used. But still fips requested me to input the second partition starting cylinder around 1.0G(9xxM). Now I have 1.0g partition under linux and 2.0g under win95 (I install win95 on the second partition not the first!!) By the way, how large should each partition under linux be? I am using slackware. Do I need a big /usr? Or I can mount /usr/local as a separate partition? Bo
