Hi Stephen,
I decided to install SuSE v6.4 on Igor and used YaST to change unused HD partitions to type 83 from vfat. The SuSE installation proceeded without incident. However when I rebooted the machine into Win95 I found that the
Two ideas. One, you mention you changed the vfat partition to type 83 (Linux swap, right?). (1) Unless you plan to over write the vfat partition (i.e. get rid of Windows), you should leave it set to vfat or vfat 32, IIRC, 12 or 12b. (2) While this probably doesn't effect your Windows problem, do you really want 83, or ext2 (which I believe is 82). I too have PowerDesk, and have not run into such a problem, however if you've changed the partition type for the FAT 16/32 partition, that probably would do it (if it would even boot).

file manager is not functional. The same thing happens with either Explorer or PowerDesk; the file manager opens but fails to read the directory tree into the left side of the display and then hangs. CTRL-ALT-Del will close the utility and I have found that I can access the file system on the machine via LAN from the other node, a bit of a cumbersome work around.
I have tried reinstalling PowerDesk (several times) but the installation hangs at the end of the process. PowerDesk is installed, but it exhibits the same performance, or lack thereof.
Any pointers towards a solution to this problem will be appreciated. I would prefer avoiding the standard MS solution to problems at all levels - reinstall the software (in this case Win95)
Thanks in advance.
