I came to wonder a few years back, if Power Quest's close working association
with M$ was the reason that their PartitionMagic 8.0 although stating it
supported Linux partitions, made dual booting with Linux a wast of time and
effort. I tracked down one bug that showed they used a duff Linux partition
boundary code. If free software could get it right, why couldn’t they? Maybe, it
was to encourage people to abandon Linux. Fortunately, whilst out finding that
the PC ran OK if it only had Linux on it (I'd lost all my data anyway though
this, so I thought I might as well try Linux out in naked form), I ended up
discovering that Linux did not wast my time with sorting all the niggling
problems I had with maintaining M$. So I never got beyond purchasing Windows
98, so every cloud has a silver lining.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
