Have a small problem. Running up to this day Drdos 7.03 and happy with the 
still perfect programs. Due to some rearranging of my hard disks I had to 
remove my Drdos partition after burning a backup.
Now I am in the process of reinstalling the Dos. 
I have some questions which I want to clear first.

Running on this box is OpenSUSE 10.2 and 10.3. If I use the the fdisk programs 
that are offered by Linux such as sfdisk, cfdisk and fdisk I get different 
outcomes. Apart from that If I use the Linux partitioner I am stuck to W95 
FAT32 (LBA). Which one of the linux programs is most trusted?

My Drdos disk got damaged and cannot be used anymore. I have a MSdos 7.1 and a 
small incomplete Drdos 7.03 so I am able to make a Fat 16 partition.
I have never bothered about fat 16 /32 and wanted to know in a few clear words 
what is the big difference, what should I install and what are the draw 
backs. 

I am still looking at Enhanced Dos. Never really understood what it is about. 
Would this be the time to start with enhanced?
How?
