I was going to do this with my new Notebook and now you tell me! along with no lousy serial port! Guess I'll have to tear down the whole lousy mess and put Win98/SE on there and I didn't want to do that. sigh ...

They just create problems. You're better off getting something like win98 to coexist with linux. This is because it uses phat32, and things like the debian installation support phat32 for mounting hd filesystems when installing rescue.bin and the bass system packages. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ameer Armaly To: speakup@braille.uwo.ca Sent: Friday, February 15, 2002 6:10 PM Subject: Re: can't load zipspeak I think I know why. I use XP, and have ntfs for my file system. How would I go about creating a dos partition if I don't have fdisk? Is there another program to do so?

It's been on the Speakup site for a few months now.

My name is Ameer Armaly, and I'm a newbe to linux. I've never successfully loaded linux before, for reasons forgotten. Anyway, I tried it again, but now I have windows xp which doesn't support real mode dos, so a boot floppy was needed. I wrote a bood disk wit windows rawwrite. It booted with "boot:", after which I hit enter without typing anything. It sat for about five minutes, saying "mounting root...". Does anybody know a way to help? Also, is zipspeak updated to the latest speakup and slackware?
