hmm....
this has really got off topic...
but if we are arguing....
I run Windows NT 4 WS (and work quite havily on it) on my home copmuter
(P200MMX) on logical partition , slave IDE disk (and I run Windows 95 and
Linux) I have OLD 430 VX motherboard and it works fine...
(only problem is infact that i use both LILO(to distinguise between any
windows and linux and then the WINNT loader (winnt , winnt(vga) , win95))
(and yes i know there is an howto on how to remove one of them i just got
otherthings to read right now :) )
p.s. all my FAT partition (i.e. the first partition) are 512MB (less then
2 GB) but i think if you have to use FAT its only logical to use small
disk partitions.
Ciao , Cheers and C'ya
