I just tried installing lnx4win for the third time (a masochist with time
on his hands is his own worst enemy). Some major inconsistencies in Drakx
have emerged - previous attempts never asked me for prefered X resolution
& colour depth in X for instance despite being told NOT to probe for
modes. I've a feeling this is where a lot of the problems are coming from
- the scripts underpinning Drax seem vulnerable to the slightest error,

The worst part of all this is that if the X config bombs, a reboot starts
reformatting the loopback system & the installation is lost. Sometimes the
space is not recovered by dos either - invisibly used space is only
spotted by scandisk but not properly recovered. Fortunately booting into
trusty SuSE let me delete this stuff behind dos's back.
