The new (2.2-GAMMA or higher) sysinstall lets you run a fixit shell from the 2nd CD-ROM, but you still need a boot floppy. Nobody ever bothered to write something like UMSDOS. Seems to be little interest only in this. Although, it should not be too hard to do, since you could supposedly setup a large DOS file as a vn device once you've got your kernel running, and mount the remaining file system off this vn device. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
