AFAIK, it's an updated XT. The difference is much interface electronics integrated on the motherboard. Video (MCGA), parport, serport, mouse, floppy (720k) and harddisk (20M). Takes PS/2 keyboard and mouse. Three 8 bit ISA slots. It's even got ROM Basic. Found out when I messed with fdisk and forgot to put a floppy in the drive. No ESDI hard drive, no MCA slots, just a plain XT. rh>Probably only the same problem I'm having - I don't have the rh>foggiest how to calculate the figure to use on the mkfs line. I guessed a block to be 1024 bytes, 2 sectors. The figures I got doesn't divide evenly with figures from fdisk. :-( A look in the source /include/linuxmt/fs.h leads me to believe that the blocks are 1024 bytes long. But I'm not fluent in C so I can't be certain. I'll just have to wait until it's fixed. 5.5MB is plenty to play with for the time being. :-) Regards, Lars FIRST rule of intelligent tinkering: save all the parts! Net-Tamer V 1.10.1 - Registered
