[olug] UGH! fdisk help - summary

[Craig Wolf]

For that system, it did not work.  That is not to say that it was a
problem between the keyboard and the chair though.  I tried what I found
on a website, linuxquestions.com I think, and the info you lovely folks
told me to try and was unable to verify that it was loaded/loading. 
Especially what Kent said to try. BTW, thanx for the help Kent!  
See everyone tonight at the meeting! (First Tuesday of the month, First
Tuesday of the month....)

Where you not able to load it either?
As a loadable Kernel Module?
I will test my system, but I almost sure I have mounted a 98 boot drive
with
Redhat 8.0 with it.
