Hi all, I would rather look silly, than make a mistake, especially since at least the DOS factor will be one before I get my new machine. Having one built that will run an edition of DOS as its main os with Linux on a separate drive. Here is the silly question. Can distros like Fedora and ebian read fat 32 partitions? There are a few advantages to this in DOS, so I am wanting to use one that supports fat 32 unless this will create a problem for the Linux distribution. Answer off list if this is just too newby a question lol. Karen
