Okey...here is what I've learned, the hard way (no guarantees, but I'm
quite sure about this now).
1) For large disks, win98 uses LBA mode. That is, the partition *must* be
"Win95 FAT32 LBA" and not "Win95 FAT32". (Otherwise, windows writes on your
linux partition, which may cause severe file syst
This is how my 20 GB disk looks today:
hda1 Linux, /boot 24
hda2 Linux swap 133
hda3 ALinux root 8197 <- the 1024 limit is here
hda4 PRI DOS FAT32-LBA11217
I would like to have a FAT16 partition too,

You're quite right.
Could this be a solution? A new Deb

If that goes for midi too, why isn't the midi working? The documentation
says (about midi) 'no ioctls supported'. What does that mean? (That alsa is
the only option?)

Since I'm going to use both win98 and Linux for a while, it would be nice
to have programs working in both OS's, that is, they share the same data,
on perhaps a FAT16 partition.
I have a program for fidonet - mypoint works under Linux' DOS-emulator.
Word 97 and Staroffice/Linux seems to work well
Okay, so I continue to try to get my PCI128 working.
I ran make menuconfig (kernel 2.2.14) and this time, i checked OSS. And then a
lot of new options appeared, and I checked my old card (SB16). And after a
reboot, cat /dev/sndstat started working and I could send midifiles to my synth
using the

bash: lspci: command not found
A search for lspci in dselect gave no result either...

Well, I read somewhere about that there was a clipboard in Linux. And it was
supposed to work as this: You mark a text and it will immediately be in the
clipboard. Then click the middle button and it is pasted.
I have no middle button. So there is some kind of emulation of that in linux,
right?
That sound thing in Linux seems to be a real mess... :(
I downloaded kernel 2.2.14 to get support for PCI128. I don't know if it is
1370 or 1371, but I took a chance on 1370. Ányway, the wave is working but the
midi isn't (I mean the midi port, I have an external synth module). So I wen't

There is a read-only utility I got from a guy at irc.debian.org. So I don't
know where on the web it is. The zip file was called fsdext2.zip.
