[ltp] Fedora Core 3 -- questions

[James McKenzie]

Xavier:

I had the same problem with the "fixable" partition problem and it was 
with the FAT32 partition for Windows98SE that is installed in my A22p.  
I suspect the problem is with the way that Windows (read Microsoft) 
handles larger drives.  I don't know if this is fixed in FC3, but you 
could check the fedora.redhat.com site for information.
