RE: lnx4win

It wouldn't be quite so lame if it actually worked reliably! Mind you, I've 
not installed Mandrake on my main box in "normal" mode so can't comment on 
it tripping over my Diamond Stealth SII 220 (Rendition Verite) card on X 
config. It is supported OK in the plain ol' SVGA server.

Setting itself up in a loopback FS should be ok, you get all the proper 
security stuff but it leaves the whole shebang vulnerable to a trip to the 
Windows bit-bucket with a mouse-click. It would have been a nice demo 
"linux for the squeamish". BTW, now found 800Mb of "invisibly" used space 
on my D:. I feel a restore from tape coming on.....
