[ltp] OT: 760XL Recovery CD

[chuck hawks]

System would be 2M for W95, 20M Linux boot, 128M Linux swap and the rest 2M+
Linux /

I tried using a normal W95OSR2  install set (Used the IBM Recovery diskette
for partioning the drive, then deleting the Fat16 expended and logical D:,
E:, etc to be fdisked for Linux)
Installed the latest drivers from the IBM site and WIN95 keeps crashing (so
what else is new). I thought the CD might get it working easier. The
programs I need under W95 don't work in WINE.

Thanks

Chuck Hawks
