OK.. But I used PM after getting nowhere with FIPS15c, which is supposed
to work with FAT32...

OK.. Perhaps it cant resize it, but then again, if you work with FAT16
or FAT32 first, resize it, and then get linux to use it, it *should*
work that way, correct?

FIPs15c works fine *IF* you have a fresh install of Win95. Whatever you
do, *dont* defrag the drive in Win95, otherwise FIPs wont be able to
give you much to work with. From what I can tell, Win95 defrag is a
little "buggy" about where it defines the end of free space, hence my
reason for buying Partition Magic....
