RE: Fix for Out of environment space not working...

["Eddelbuettel, Dirk" <Dirk.Eddelbuettel@nesbittburns.com>]

Looks like a good enough reason not to stop using LILO :-> which worked just
fine for me for half a decade.  

But as for double-booting, have a look at www.vmware.com
<http://www.vmware.com>  which provides a rather awesome "virtual machine"
into which you can load Dos, Win 3.1/95/98/NT, BeOs, another Linux, ....
At home, I have it working with Samba and IP Masquerade on the (Linux) host
which gives me access to all my Linux files, as well as the net (when I'm
dialed-in).  The software is expected to go on sale for USD 99 for home use,
and USD 299 for biz users.

		I am not sure that this needs to be added to the user's
guide but what I
		finally figured out (which of course seems obvious now) was
that System 
		Commander, which I have installed to let me switch between
Linux and 
		Win98, was overwriting the config.sys file on boot up.....

		So I just found where in Sys. Commander's tree it kept a
copy of the
		config.sys...edited that file and now everything works
fine...

		Sort of a special problem for users of Sys. Commander or
other boot
		manager software....
