<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi. First, xp and linux can't coexist on the same
machine. They just create problems. You're better off getting something like
win98 to coexist with linux. This is because it uses phat32, and things like the
debian installation support phat32 for mounting hd filesystems when installing
rescue.bin and the bass system packages. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I think I know why. I use XP, and have ntfs
for my file system. How would I go about creating a dos partition
if I don't have fdisk? Is there another program to do so?
</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'm not sure about your problem without more
info, but yes, Zipspeak has been updated to Speakup 1.0 and Slackware
8.0. It's been on the Speakup site for a few months now.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi list. My name is Ameer Armaly,
and I'm a newbe to linux. I've never successfully loaded linux
before, for reasons forgotten. Anyway, I tried it again, but now I
have windows xp which doesn't support real mode dos, so a boot
floppy was needed. I wrote a bood disk wit windows rawwrite.
It booted with "boot:", after which I hit enter without typing
anything. It sat for about five minutes, saying "mounting
root...". Does anybody know a way to help? Also, is zipspeak
updated to the latest speakup and
slackware?</FONT></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
