I've heard via mail that all we have to do is use pfdisk from somewhere that
has linux sources. I ftp'ed it from ted.cs.uidaho.edu in the
/pub/linux/INSTALL/dos_utils directory. I'm not sure whether or not this
works. I'm not sure If I'm gonna try it or just boot off a floppy for dos.
hope it helps...alex...
