OK. I just saw the "almost as large as an entire digest entry" UMSDOS
patch.
Question: Is there a UVFAT type thing to allow permissions and user.group on
fat32 partitions? Was I just ignorant and missed it?
Question2: Does the massive UMSDOS patch address this and I am merely
wasting everybody's time?
Request: If you RTFM me, please point me to a FM to R and I'll be happy.
Reason: I still need my Win98 stuff on my Linux box for some things. I
occasionally like to keep big things off my more valuable Linux partitions
(dev kernels for example) and some builds require links or other twiddles
vfat does not seem to support.
Solution: I know, I know. I plan to get rid of all my MS stuff as soon as I
can. Once GIMP/GTK supports pressure sensitivity for my tablet, I'll be a
big step closer to getting rid of PhotoShop and a lot happier with my non-MS
box. In the mean time I am looking for another solution.
Offtopic praise: I just put my old HD's in my new AMD K6-300 with 100Mhz
motherboard and silly fast 128 Megs of 100Mhz memory last night (giving my
P-133 to Mom.) Booted right into 2.1.118 with XFree86 and KDE running (~596
Bogomips, for those of you who like numbers.) Not a change required. Great
work!!! I had to reboot Win98 about 20 times as it attempted to install new
devices. I had to screw with it a bunch to get it to work properly in the
end. I really want that crap off soon. Thank you all for giving me an
alternative. I just wish I had more talent/time to contribute.
Damn... Now I need 2 SCSI drives and MD speed up. My IDE drives sound like
they are working really hard to supply info fast enough and not succeeding.
I'll be looking into NOATIME and NODIRATIME when I get home tonight.
