Hi Martin,

I haven't had any time recently to do any more experimenting but about I 
think it was late last year when I was booting to a full-screen session 
with DFSee as the shell, with HPFS/JFS support from several of my 
FAT16-formatted (Large floppy) USB-sticks/SDRAM-cards. People are 
working on getting it to boot from partitioned media, and it's easier to 
accomplish with Warp4 than an LVM-system, last I read.

I don't have the URL available currently - but I'm sure someone else 
will come up with it for you - there's a few Wikipedia-type pages with 
the details. There were relevant messages posted in the DFSEE-support 
group, you could look back in the online archives.

Good luck!

Regards,
Mike
