Even with a FAT32 partition, does FreeDOS work with modern sized drives?
Yes. I have a 120 GB drive with a 5 GB FAT partition with FreeDOS. I was using that soley for Fractint, until I tried Linux and Xfractint, which is much faster for me. If you want to dual boot with Linux as one of your OSes, try Mandrake. The installer is better WinXP and WinME, IMO. Also, the partitioning tool is able to resize FAT (I've tried this, it works) and NTFS partitions (haven't tried it). It comes with two bootloaders (LILO and GRUB), and if you install it after installing windows, it will see all of the OSes on your system. All it will cost you is time to download it (3 CDs, 650 MB each). JPK
