Or you could buy an external Jaz-drive and SCSI PCMCIA card ;-) When I wanted to load 2.2-stable + X on my 800meg hard drive (not a laptop), I partitioned my h.d. into a 100-meg 95 partition where C:\WINDOWS sits and used the rest for FreeBSD. Win95 apps run from E: Unfortunately, I was stupid (and cheap) and purchased an Adaptec-2920 before I ran outta money..so I can't use my Jaz drive with 2.2-stable/2.2.5 until the PAO stuff (and maybe the "hack" posted here a few months ago) is updated. -- John-David Childs (JC612) Enterprise Internet Solutions Systems Administration @denver.net/internet-coach/@ronan.net & Network Engineering 1031 S.
