We ended up deleting existing partitions with fdisk from WinME and making 
one 6GB partition with this same fdisk (emergency boot disk).  He is 
putting in a second drive with three partitions, and linux is going onto 
one of them if we have time today.   Or into a loop for now.  While I work 
on getting BL3 user to use eznet.conf.  Or learn to specify phone number, 
login and password on the command line.  (man pppd?).
