<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Alex. Try leaving out the c:\ before vmlinuz.
Probably vmlinuz is confused when it can't understand what c:\ means. I remember
that when I had to edit my Debian start-up batchfile for installation, it was
something like: c:\dosutils\loadlin linux speakup_synth=dectlk root=/dev/ram and
so on. </FONT></DIV>
