Hi John,

I talked to you about putting Linux on your computer a while back.  The
answer to your question is to install Linux on the D drive.  If you want I
could probably make you a BrlTTY enabled boot disk.  Then there is a program
called Loadlin which can be put on your Windows partition to load linux.

Hope this helps,
Saqib
