It seems to flag it dirty when first mounted, and then refuses to write 
to it as far as I remember. Currently don't have any working Linux 
partitions on this box and the old Toshiba laptop that does have Ubuntu 
installed has never had OS/2 installed on it.
Linux started to need too much bandwidth to maintain and PPP support 
became broken, at least on Ubuntu, so with no dial-up support...
Volunteers only maintain what interests them.
