>>sorry what you are saying does not compute. default partition? win 95? home? I presume you mean what partition boots under Lilo or boot manager. Like I say be specific. The default- the machine boots on this -win95, in partition 1. I had someone else do this arrangement. Thanks for your help. I just thought with other non- Linux experience like Amiga, Mac, Unix. I could do something. I never read manuals, though I refer to them when applicable and necessary. I guess I just like to save time more than money, in some situations. This is taking too much. Hope you enjoy it! All I want to ask, finally, is: what are the advantages with this besides supposedly "more stable" system, some available software (albeit for now). It seems you really do need to be a hacking sort of individual to get somewhere with this. I guess I just wanted to be 'different', I'm not finding much advantage with this yet. Maybe further evolution of this os somehow may make it more appealing to us troglytes.. back to the mines!
