	That sucks

	So, I could use VMWARE to run my pre-existing win98 partition, but I
cant have the fat32 partition mounted under linux at the same time?

	Sounds dicey to me. Ill stick with dual-booting for now. I find
myself booting into windows less and less, especially since Telstra's 3 gig
ADSL cap means Im now on Optus dialup and my pings to my usual Tac Ops
servers have tripled :(

	I also find that wine works for me most of the time. I actually use
a dos based 6502 disassembler (not a very good one) though wine and it works
fine. Ultraedit also works, but crashes every now and then (so wine probably
emulates the host OS too well :)

	Hi Darrell

	It is possible, and has worked great for me

	See the VMWare website for info:
