Beats using floppies or cdrom ... with 240mb you could also install zipslack on DOS and get a full minimal slackware system. Then if you have trouble with your other drive, you can boot from this one and fix stuff on the other drives. I like the install.zip because it's small. ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-9.0/zipslack/README.1st ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-9.0/rootdisks/install.zip.README The cool thing about the install.zip is that it only needs 16MB, so even on a small disk, you can have a small DOS partition and always have a rescue disk on HDD ... I hate floppies ... I don't like cdroms very much either. The more I can do straight from HDD or network the better ... -- Doug >-- >A message from the system administrator: "I've upped my priority, now up >yours!" >On Sun, 6 Apr 2003, Doug wrote: > > > Alex, > > > > > I may install another hdd to completely devote to dos. > > > > The DOS (FAT16) file system only goes up to 2GB ... > > What I do is put a 300MB DOS partition on every machine. > > It's wild but those "windows bundles" I spoke of hold > > the *entire* windows 2000 install bits in approx 250MB. > > They are compressed and they extract.
