Re: questions about linux..again

I set my partitions up using "System Commander Deluxe."
The software was easy to use, but required sighted assistance to make use
of it.  It was easy to do, I lost no Win95 data, and it has a special set
of instructions for installing Lynix.  I installed Red Hat 5 with a LILO
boot for Lynix and it works fine.
