Creates RAMDISK image and can save config files to the floppy. »www.coyotelinux.com -- Black Mage may be evil, but he sure does love that Canadian Forum

Eatmeingreek Gentard join:2001-06-29 San Francisco, CA	reply to candle$ My fave, from the lunatic fringe: It started as a secure, single floppy, bootable Linux distribution for storing PGP keys and then encrypting, signing and wiping files. At some point it became an exercise in over-engineering. Tinfoil Hat Linux -- We must destroy liberty to make the homeland safe for democracy [text was edited by author 2003-02-04 11:55:05]

Since it's just for programming classes, you might want to consider using cygwin. Checkout »www.cygwin.com which is a Redhat project. It's probably the quickest thing that you can setup and cleanup is very simple.

stateq2 control the code Premium join:2003-03-27 Jackson, MS	reply to steve1515 said by steve1515: I didn't really want to make major changes. I only wanted a quick and temporary thing. It's not really that important. most linux distros can only read NTFS, so its best to partition the WindowsXP OS on NTFS, and put all your data files in a FAT32 partition. This way, you'll have no trouble. I think the only good reason to have NTFS is because the cluster sizes are smaller.
