I'm thinking about ditching the Knoppix to HD install that's currently on my 
ThinkPad 600E and going with SuSE 9.1, since SuSE has a great track record of 
working 100% right out of the box on ThinkPads. However, I have to keep a 
Windows 2K partition going as well, and I think I might put a DOS partition 
for the sake of keeping PS2.EXE and a hibernation partition when I get a new 
hard drive.

Would using FAT32 instead of NTFS sidestep this problem? I have no qualms 
about using FAT32. Yeah NTFS gives you a journal and extra security goodies 
but this is just my laptop, I'm not going to be carrying around secrets of 
either State or some big corporation. ;-)

Let me know,
Michelle
