Hi,

The bad news is - if you used the Win'95 FDISK to create the D: drive then
it's going to be FAT32 as well... I'm pretty sure that once Win'95 FDISK has
seen a FAT32 partition on the system it will create everything as FAT32...
Though I am willing to be proven wrong... (FAT32 is apparently supported
under 3.0-CURRENT at the moment, but not any of the 2.2.X stable
branches...)

How do you know D: is FAT16 anyway? - I can't actually think of anything
that's going to tell you easily... :-(

Regards,

Karl Pielorz
