We need to add some distinctions to Borg files systems, since we are
addressing there stuff.  So,

Crash95 -A, is only FAT16.

Crash95 -B, also known as OSR 2, would do both FAT16 & FAT32 & would
even warn you if you went to install FAT32, re incompatibilities. They
were to lazy/dumb/trying to generate sales, to include a utility to get
around this. See previous posts about Evil Empire.... There were, just
to make things really clear, a couple of OSR 2's as well & they all did
this FAT16-32 stuff....

So, you can switch back, depending on which versions of the Borg OS's
you have, from 98 > 95. Just type "ver" in the command line or check it
out in, um, system properties I think it is.... As far as dual booting
to keep your load games going, I recommend Crash95-B, since it is
something less of a resource hog....

The moral of the story is, keep buying Linux games, so more get ported
over, etc!!!!

"Personally, I recommend using Partition Magic 4.0 for this respect..."
Me too, wish I could afford it. Mmmm, gui re-partioning & manipulation.
Mmmm.
