If your old drive was for DOS, does DOS see the partition anymore? For
example, is there still a C: but it's unreadable (Invalid Media), or is

The chmod a+rX did exactly what I was looking for, thanks!
ving a swap file would be that necessary. However, if you still
want one, doesn't a more recent version of DOS FDISK (e.g. Win95) allow
more than 2 "logical drives"? I thought it would let you just delete your

Why do you want to run SVGATextMode anyway? I ran it once and it was more
trouble than it's worth. The only good of it is to make more lines on the
screen, and you can set your kernel vidmode to EXT for that (50 line
mode)

1) Is there a way to turn on Numlock by default, or better yet, to
prevent it from being turned off? My BIOS sets Numlock to ON when I boot,
but when I load the kernel (with lilo) it turns numlock off. :(

I normally don't compile sound board support, because I never use sound in
Linux, but I was just messing around and I decided 'what the hell' and

If reget doesn't work, have a friend with a fast connection download it
and split it up to smaller files :)
