Ok, so Linux 2.0.34 tolerates Fat32 but won't create such a partition... Then I don't
understand why Linux Fdisk allows you to create a partition a using Fat32 ID..?
Anyway, so how is this done then, do I delete the partition in DOS fdisk and re-create
it using dos ?. I used Linux Fdisk to create all my partitions including the dos
one... And yes, I do have OSR2...
Thanks

You can't use Linux's fdisk to create the DOS partition. You have to use
DOS's fdisk or Partition Magic (or a similar program) to do that part.
Also, you have to have OSR2 of Win95 to support FAT32.
