Good idea Ex. I'll give Linux a 10 meg or so vfat partition if I have a need for this again. Turns out that this is all moot since I've got a Duron, though, since apparently the cache timings on the CPU cause the ever popular "kernel panic" during the boot process and it won't start for the first time. I'm assuming this issue with Athlon processors is being addressed with the 2.4 kernel, or is there a fix already?

Also, on the drive thing, what say I removed the drive from Windows, then reboot to a floppy and install Linux immediately without ever letting Windows see a vfat partition on it at all. Would it still find it as hardware or would it miss it due to the foreign FAT?
