Re: Thoughts on possible XP upgrade with RH 7.2

[Adam Holisky <development buickfiles org>]

Few things..

1.  WinXP uses FAT32.. at least that's what I have it set to on mine. 
If you upgrade your system, the installation will not change the FS type 
to NTFS.

2.  Keep Win98 For CD Burning. I have 98, XP, and RH72 installed, and XP 
 BLOWS MORE THEN EVER WITH CD BURNING.  It's so bad I had to yell it 
:).  Seriously though, I have major problems with all different kinds of 
CD Burners on XP unsing all different kinds of software.  When I need to 
burn I do it in 98 or linux.

3.  Most games & XP don't mix well.. I'm just throwing this in here b/c 
the only reason I have windows is to play some games, and generally I 
use 98 still.

my two cents.
