Glad to hear your recovery worked out well, Ron.  I've gotten kind of busy 
lately with an important upcoming meeting, so I've not yet done an install 
of Win under BL3 qemu.  I got partway there, but I unfortunately did not 
put a large enough hard drive (to hold both the install CD image and the 
qemu hard disk image) in the test machine.  I still hope to get to that 
soon and give a report with screenshots.  Meantime, I can report that I 
successfully installed Win98 under qemu on one of my more up-to-date 
machines that runs a version of Debian (Ubuntu: or do we now call Debian a 
version of Ubuntu? :) ).  So it seems there is no reason why it should not 
work under BL3 and qemu as well.  But when I finally get the right test 
machine set up and succeed in installing and running Win under BL3 qemu, 
I'll post to the list with details.
