Dear John, dosemu will easily do everything you want, provided you: 1) Are willing to install MS-DOS in /dev/hda1, and 2) Don't need Windows installed on /dev/hda1 If you can live with the two above requirements, the rest is easy: 1) Install dosemu 2) In file /etc/dosemu.conf, set this parameter: $_hdimage = "/dev/hda1" 3) Copy file "exitemu" from /var/lib/dosemu to the DOS root directory Then, to access DOS, at the command line type: dos -k To return to Linux, type: exitemu - Robert Storey
