Will there ever be a Win32s version of PGPfone? I have one of those systems with non-(MS)DOS partitions that MS-DOS/Wind95 doesn't like, so until MS can deal with the fact that people use other OSs, I'm staying clean of Win95.
Windows95 doesn't complain at all about other operating systems resident on your machine, nor does it invalidate partitions which it can't read. You just can't access the partitions.
Win95 does alter the Master Boot Record on the drive. This tends to screw up previously installed boot managers. Reinstalling lilo (or whatever boot manager you use) usually does the trick. (The MBR changes do not seem to be a requirement. I have no idea why they do it. Maybe to make sure that you use *ONLY* Mr. Bill's OS.) I get around the problem by having removable drives. (Each one with a different OS.) Avoids having to deal with the chance of messing up all of my operating systems at once... --- Alan Olsen -- alano@teleport.com -- Contract Web Design & Instruction `finger -l alano@teleport.com` for PGP 2.6.2 key http://www.teleport.com/~alano/ "We had to destroy the Internet in order to save it." - Sen.
