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...
