Installing a new drive with Linux is easy. You just physically plug the drive in and boot up. Then you can issue three commands and you're all set. Under Windows 95 it is much harder. I originally tried to partition and format the drive with Linux. (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
