I would hazard a guess that it is because your cable provider is using a

Hi,
Background: I use DSL with Slink. My ISP recently mandated a change in
the configuration of the DSL router from "bridging" to "ppp" mode.
After the change, I could not resolve names ( DNS ). nslookup would
fail. The "route" command would take a _long_ time to print the final
" default gateway"
There is nothing in the /var/lock after a clean reboot. Also, if I drop back
to the old 2.0.36 kernel, the problem clears. This is very perplexing since my
other 3 linux boxes are all running the same type of setup (potato/2.2.14).
Any other ideas?

DOS/Win9X fdisk can not delete non-DOS partitions (such as Linux
partitions) when they are inside an extended partition, and will then
also refuse to delete the extended partition itself in that case.
If you still have a Linux boot floppy around with Linux fdisk or cfdisk
on it, that will do it. O
