I downloaded the bzimage.big once I got home from school. I used the .bat file I had setup before that uses the -append "root=/dev/hda rw" param. I didn't bother to change the name this time. I even left the .big extension on there. It worked just fine. Thank you for the help with this. Now all thats left is to figure out why when I load BL 3.40 off the two floppies it can't find the startx shellscript. I guess its a shellscript...
