hehehe, thing is, how do I do that?  I am a total newbie to this.  I only
know my stuff about DOS/Win.  How would I get to a prompt?  All I have on
the HD right now is one DOS partition and the other blank one.  I see your
logic perfectly, it is the way I want to do it but I don't know enough to
get it done.  =)  Can you fill me in some more?

So this segmentation fault must be some kind of incompatibility, no?

Thanks a lot,
Tony
