Hi Glenn

Thanks for the information.  I did try to use the fdisk in DRDOs to make a
second partition but it would not allow it.  I guess your response explains
this.

I assume that I can use the linux bootloaders from DOS.  Can you give me an
URL where I can find one?

I find Nettamer perfect for my e-mail needs but I prefer to use Lynx_kit for
web browsing.  I do not find Nettamer to be a good web browser.
