[TriLUG] Knoppix revisited...again

Not to start an argument, but I'm going to anyway, Windows 95a only
supported FAT16, but Windows 95b/c supported FAT32 with a 2GB limitation per
partition. FAT32 as we know it, with 8GB partition limitations, began with
Windows 98.

You're not on Fat32 if it is Win95.  Win98 uses Fat32.  Win95 uses
Fat16.

Darn.  I was starting to salivate over some microbrew :-)

Good luck!
